Those of ancient Peru were engaged in huge construction programs, often building extensive pyramids that dot the landscape (the Sican built 250 pyramids in the Lambayesque valley alone) and massive stepped temple platforms. Sometimes they used adobe bricks to build their civic and religious monuments, other times they used massive stones, some weighing up to 360 tons (about the weight of 500 passenger cars) as in the case of the site of Sacsayhuaman. Meanwhile, the Nazca (200 BCE-800 CE) of Peru are most famous for their famous drawings that cover the landscape for miles that can only be understood from far above. The Incas and other Peruvians often elongated their skulls through binding in early childhood, and were also able to conduct skull surgery by drilling holes in the patient’s heads with a high survival rate. As for the Inca Empire, this was one of the most organized states in the world, with a complex religious system involving a beneficent Sun god and a semi-divine king derived from him. Here, royal and noble mummies were revered and even held land long after their deaths.
