3D Models of El Brujo Archaeological Complex, Peru

The El Brujo Archaeological Complex lies near the Pacific coast in the Chicama Valley of northern Peru. Its best-known monument, Huaca Cao Viejo, is a stepped adobe platform built by the Moche culture during the first centuries CE. Its walls are decorated with brightly painted reliefs showing warriors, captives and ritual scenes. In 2005, archaeologists found the tomb of the Señora de Cao (Lady of Cao), a tattooed woman of high status buried with rich offerings, whose discovery changed ideas about the role of women in Moche society. The complex also includes Huaca Prieta, one of the oldest known settlements on the Peruvian coast.
