Pachacamac and Lima

2018

​

​

Pachacamac is a pre Inca site located along the Pacific Coast south of Lima. 

​

The area was settled first around 200CE.

​

The focus of the town and the complex was on the Earth God Pacha Kamaq.

​

A 1000 year old cemetery containing mummies was discovered near by. 

​

Tuuwatinsuyu (Inca)  invaded the area and used the buildings for a variety of purposes. 

​

The site is believed to have developed into a pilgrimage site and also the site of an oracle. 

​

The museum pieces towards the end are part of a larger display of sexual art from the region and includes many phalluses, representations of sex and of self gratification.
