Mojeque

Mojeque, or Pampa de las Llamas-Moxeke, is a large archaeological site located in the Casma Province of Ancash Region in northern Peru.

[1] Large crowds would gather at this site to observe and participate in rituals or ceremonies associated with the mounds.

His student Toribio Mejia Xesspe discovered large polychrome figures at Mojeque which are a striking feature of the complex.

The images include the picture of the "Weeping God", found also at other Andean sites.

The Pozorskis also saw that the site links with the neighboring Pampa de las Llamas complex.
