Moche society
The Moche society, flourishing in northern Peru between 100 and 700 CE, was a highly organized and sophisticated culture known for impressive ceramics, elaborate textiles, and advanced engineering. They built complex irrigation systems to support agriculture and engaged in extensive trade. Moche society was structured with a ruling elite, including priests and warriors, and skilled artisans who created detailed artwork depicting their gods, rituals, and daily life. They also practiced complex religious ceremonies, often commemorated in their art, reflecting a society deeply connected to spirituality, community, and innovation.
