The Moche culture developed mainly in the year 100 a. C. and lasted until 700 AD C. His development is found in the Coast region, mainly the north. Its main center was in the La Libertad region, but extended as far north as the Lambayeque region and south reached the region of Ancash.
An important feature of the Moche people of Cultra, as well as other cultures that developed in the Early Intermediate, is that they had made great progress in various areas of water technology (the technique studying the transmission and distribution of water in agricultural land), which allowed irrigate and cultivate numerous valleys. The Mochica, for example, built irrigation systems, water wells, irrigation channels, etc. achieving low fluid transport element for the arid soil of our coast. For the people it meant getting more produce, for more and better food and a notable increase in the population.
The main agricultural product was corn, which was used to prepare court and chicha. Other daily consumer products were the lima beans, sweet potato, pumpkin, Loch, avocado, papaya, and cucumber lucuma. They also consumed potato thanks to barter or exchange of goods with other peoples of the Sierra. The diet was supplemented by fishing, thanks to its proximity to the sea. Had fishing nets, harpoons, hooks, and boats known as straw reed horses, which even now are being built and used.
Different studies show that Mochica should be a very well organized, with large public works. It is believed that the State Mochica was militaristic and aggressive wars of conquest used to expand their territories.
The ruling class consisted of a small group of military Nobles, where the top leader was called Cie - Quiche, ruler of the Moche valley. Then came the Alaec, who were the kings of a single valley, subordinates the ultimate authority.
After we find the priests who were highly respected by all the people, for they knew the "secrets" of agriculture. These priests lived in truncated pyramid temples, unlike the nobles who lived in palaces. The priests were responsible for the worship of the most important god of the Moche, the Aia - Apaec, whose teeth of felines, the wrinkled face and whiskers coming out of the nose. Followed the priests, the people, which was made up of fishermen, farmers, artisans and soldiers. We finally found the slaves, people who did not enjoy any privilege and that in fact POWs were used for human sacrifices.
Almost everything we know about the lives of the Moche is through their pottery, considered the most beautiful of ancient Peru. Its shape is diverse, but predominantly globular stirrup-odd bottle. Bichrome is a ceramic, it highlights two colors: creamy white and reddish brown.
There were two types of Moche ceramics, sculptural ceramics, mostly decorated with scenes of everyday life and the Pictorial Ceramics showing scenes of war. Among the highlights sculptural ceramics painted ceramics, representing mature men in different moods, happy, sad, angry, etc.
worked in the metallurgy of gold and precious stones in the development of ornaments such as bracelets, earrings, breastplates, masks, etc..
Regarding its construction, the adobe used both to build houses and temples. The shape of his temples was the truncated pyramid. Among the main highlight the Huaca del Sol, dedicated to the worship of the god Aia - Apaec and Huaca de la Luna, dedicated to the worship of the dead, both temples located in the northern city of Trujillo - La Libertad.
