Acerca de este libro electrónico

""Moche Civilization"" explores the fascinating pre-Columbian Andean society that thrived in ancient Peru for over six centuries. Going beyond the traditional view of the Moche as just a ""warrior culture"", the book delves into the intricate connections between their advanced irrigation systems, distinctive pottery, and societal structure. The Moche people were remarkably adept at environmental management, building sophisticated irrigation networks to cultivate crops in an arid landscape, demonstrating a crucial aspect of their ingenuity and helping sustain a thriving population.

The book examines the Moche's artistic prowess through their pottery, which served as a medium for religious expression, social hierarchy, and historical narratives. This pottery reveals a complex society with deeply ingrained beliefs and social strata.

The book is structured in four parts, beginning with the historical context, then progressing to their agricultural practices, artistic achievements, and finally, an exploration of their warrior ethos. This approach provides a holistic view of Moche society, its achievements, and its eventual decline. By drawing upon archaeological evidence and recent findings, the book offers a fresh perspective on the Moche, emphasizing the interconnectedness of their environmental adaptations, artistic traditions, and militaristic culture. It provides a nuanced understanding of their social, economic, and ideological systems, making it a valuable resource for students and anyone interested in ancient civilizations and pre-Columbian history.
