Wall paintings within the Huaca de la Luna, a temple from a pre-Incan culture, the Mochicas. These paintings are from over 1,500 years ago, and are unrestored, untouched. Isn't that incredible?
We visited a few sites from the Mochica and Chimu cultures today, and were quite impressed by what we saw. The Incas get all the credit nowadays, but in fact they built off of the cultures before them, who were around for a lot longer and did a lot more.
