In 1532, when Pizarro conquered Peru, the Inca realm was one of the largest empires on earth, rivaling that of Ming China or the Ottoman Turks. Inca Peru was graced by gold masterpieces, towns with great avenues flanked by palaces and temples, and a network of roads far superior to those of contemporary European states. But this glittering culture only obscured the rich and diverse civilizations that had preceded it: Chavin, Moche, Nazca, Tiwanaku, Huari and Chimú.
