Ancient Peru

Ancient Peru was home to advanced civilizations like the Incas, who thrived before European contact. These cultures developed sophisticated agriculture, especially terraced farming on steep mountains, and impressive architecture, such as Machu Picchu. They created intricate textiles, metalwork, and had complex social and religious systems. The rich geography, including the Andes and the coastal desert, influenced their distinct ways of life. Their achievements highlight a history of innovation, adaptation, and culture that laid the foundations for later civilizations in the region.
