pre-inca

Before Pachacamac was used to refer to an expansive coastal sanctuary, the name was associated with a deity—and according to some his legacy lives on thanks to a wooden stick.

Studies show that the idol was in fact created by the pre-Inca culture Wari, prior to the arrival of the Inca empire to Pachacamac.

A group of Peruvian archaeologists discovered on a street in Lima, during pipeline excavations, the tomb of a 700-year-old child and figurines of Cuchimilcos, the figure that will be the image of the Pan-American Games this year.
