"Site archéologique très intéressant, mais avis aux arachnophobes, le site est truffé d’arrivées !"

"À faire avec guide ! Peuple des Chimu (40 000 pers) El niño (pluie forte et forte chaleur dans le Nord du Pérou) —> du nom de la date de la naissance du Christ donné par les colons. Phénomène causé par un mélange des deux courants (froid-chaud). Religion polythéiste : glorification de la nature. Les incas ont conquis la communauté Chimu, et ont préservé Chan Chan jusqu’à l’arrivée des colons. 88% de la ville de Chan Chan est sous-terre."

"UNESCO World Heritage | Largest precolumbian ruins Chan Chan predates the Inca Empire in Peru. It was the capital city of the Chimú tribe, who ruled this part of the region before the arrival of the Incas (c. 1470). Chan Chan was home to tens of thousands of people-archeologists' suppositions vary, claiming the site was home to between 30,000 and 100,000 inhabitants-and demonstrates how well ordered and intelligently thought out ancient South American cities were. There were religious buildings, reservoirs, cemetery areas, well-planned houses, communal gardens, and what appear to have been storage facilities, presumably for crops and other commercial items. There were also nine separate living areas or "citadels," perhaps so the different social classes could each be housed in their own district. The buildings are made of a mixture of adobe and mud, decorated with intricate patterns and graphic designs. The majority of the Chimú who lived in Chan Chan worked as fishermen or potters. Many surviving ceramic artifacts tell the story of their tribe and way of life, depicting people fishing and the animals that were important to their culture, such as monkeys, fish, and dogs. It seems the pottery was traded with other tribes, contributing to a thriving system of bartering. Chan Chan is the world's largest adobe city and was the largest city ever built in the pre-Columbian Americas. It was a center of Chimú life for several hundred years, before the Chimú were conquered by the Incas. Today, Chan Chan is such a delicate site that it is on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Adobe is easily damaged by natural forces, such as wind and rain; in addition, the site has been sadly neglected and damaged over the last few centuries particularly by people plundering the site to sell its artifacts to unscrupulous collectors. As such, it needs careful restoration and preservation."
