The present-day Department of Amazonas in Peru, occupying part of the western Amazon basin, carries evidence of human cultures predating the Inca Empire.
[1][2] Prehistoric evidence on rocky walls includes the rock paintings of Chiñuña-Yamón and Limones-Calpón in the province of Utcubamba.
By the time the Peruvian civilization was already formed, there appeared a type of ceramic mainly identified in Bagua Province.
Similar to the Inca Empire, the Huari also expanded across more territories than their other pre-Inca neighbors to the South, the Moche and Chimú.
Near the city of Ayacucho, the site includes subterranean galleries, mausoleums of human remains, and astronomical tables.
