South America’s history should be explored more often!
Amen
@Tyler B #2 who are you talking to mutt?
There was no written language and any Pre-Columbian history comes entirely from oral tradition and the writings of spanish colonizers.
@@jascrandom9855 which is why we don't here much about it and many other cultures from around the world.
I agree, underrated!
Im so glad you didnt just covered the Incas or the colonial period but actually investigated about their other societies. Peruvian history is fascinating
Thanks for that. I am a peruvian.
A continent completely uninfluenced by the Greeks, Babylonians, Sumerian, Iranian, Assaka Indians, Qing Chinese ... fascinating! Honestly incredible, how different, and yet similar, developing great buildings, practicing arts, it's so beautiful the potential of a human.
Completely uninfluenced as far as we know.... that's even more exciting.
not surprised at all , all humans have the same brains therefore the same capabilities.
@CyberPunker00 what we know is that for a short period of time there was a trade network between the pacific islanders and the andaen cultures.
CyberPunker00 that has a simple answer, the south of the equator has different constelations that the north, so it makes all the sense they would develop this things without ever having contact
@@PhenomResurrections08 yes, I wouldn't rule that out neither. Maybe some west Africans had reached South America? They would know about the pyramids in Egipt and other places(the commerce between west Africa and the Nile was common at the time) and tell about them. Just a possibility that I wouldn't totally rule out.
Love Peru 🇵🇪 from Nepal 🇳🇵
This was a thing of beauty, as a Peruvian at school they DRILL in you all the pre-inca civilisations, but this video really puts them in context and how far apart in time these were. Would have been cool to have added (for visuals) the Paracas Culture and their elongated skulls, Some Chavin still remain and they have interesting decorations, the city of Lima is dotted with pre-inca temples called Huacas.
It was awesome that you focused so much on the pre -inca civilisations, as there are a lot of information out there that covers the Inca, Colonial, and Republican periods. But i've never seen the pre-inca period being covered so well before. Such an improvement since the Potosí video from years ago.
Minor improvement, the coast on the map doesnt reflect just how much of a desert it is in reality.
btw you really got me interested in the Bronze Age more than i had been before.
Thank you I am glad you liked it :)
Good improvement suggestion, I visited Lima years ago and kinda looked like desert around the city. The Peruvian coast was more irrigated in the past...but I think I did overdo the green color there when drawing the map.
I am glad I got you more interested in the bronze age, such unique and influential time for the history that followed.
Not much ago 1. I thought Waq'as or Huacas were all just buildings but in fact Huacas are mountains or any type of religious natural entities like caves rivers etc and than the Huacas buildings were aligned with the real Huacas. 2. I also thought that the oldest Huacas building and places only dated from somewhere near 200 b.C but in reality Lima have been inhabited for millenias. There is the Garagay Huaca site which dates 1500 b.C plus the oldest city and civilizations of the americans is in Lima department/region in the district of Supe.
@@thelifesampler Yeah! A Huaca or Wak'a is basically almost anything that's been sacralized, so both the mountain and the building are Huacas. Even the image of a god was a huaca, or even animals and stars can be huacas. It was often believed to be so because the presence of the Sacred or Spirit had come to inhabit said place, animal or object. So while a god was a "Kamaq" or a "Willka," the being, thing or place that it "entered into" or "interacted with" could become a Wak'a. And this belief can also be found accross other animistic cultures. The Andean cultures were specially particular in their animism though, as they were also "analogical", because for them an object could be like a "reflection" or the real thing, and you could interact with the real thing by interacting with the "reflection". For instance, "interacting with the building" (such as a rite taking place there) may have been almost the same or at least very close to "interacting with the mountain itself."
@@EpimetheusHistory Lima is very beautiful compared to other capital cities in Latin America ... Bogota, Santiago or Mexico City, exactly is located in a desert so the green that is seen is the Peruvian ingenuity, Lima is the second largest city in the World made in a desert only after Cairo in Egypt and in both places the oldest civilizations of humanity were discovered.
No entendí pero bueno
It's so interesting how South America had its own Early Bronze Age Civilization(Norte Chico), but is never focused on as much as Ancient Egypt. Videos like these are so amazing because they cover so much history in such a short amount of time.
Unfortunately they didnt leave sexy buildings like the Egyptian Pyramids. Tbh also Mesopotamia and Persia have the same issue, they get overlooked in favour of Egypt, even though their histories are just as interesting (if not more so).
If the Hanging Gardens weren't destroyed Mesopotamia would have so much more recognition.
@Star Star but did they do it themselves tho ?
There is also a very good factor to take into consideration as well : the lack of a writing system.
The fact that we don't have that makes it less marketable, just like how the Indus Valley and Minoans are also underappreciated because of the fact that their script is currently undeciphered. The ability to read directly from 1st hand sources is not to be underestimated
@@sephikong8323 Great point, that is probably why Egypt gets so much recognition in the ancient world. I think there are actually many people working on deciphering the Indus Valley script
The #1 or #2 heart surgeon in the states is Peruvian, he saved my Grandfather's life. I later coached his son in American football.

Peru is a wasteland
Peru is one of the oldest civilizations along with China, India, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, And Rome
Greece and Rome aren't that old at all
Greece and its people have existed in some form since the minoans, 2000bc.
@@sadvenom7826 Yeah, Minoans are very old. When people say "Greece", they usually think of the hellenic period.
Peru is not old lol
@@asterixs259 yes it is! It's basically what the Conquistadors called the "mytic country of silver and gold", which basically was the Andean cultural area, that at the time was governed by the Incas. So, whenever they wrote in the chronicles about the time prior to the Conquista, they'd always be refered to as Peru, such as in the phrase "las antiguallas del Pirú", or "los antiguos reinos del Peru". So even if it was a name that came from the outside, it made reference to political and cultural entities that already existed there, which can be traced back to millenia BC and whose people and culture have a continous historic development that persists until today, even if sadly diminished to an extent. Now by Peru you may be just thinking of the names of the political entities such as "El Virreinato del Perú" or "La Repúplica del Perú", but it doesn't mean that what's been called "Peru" for five centuries now can't be traced back to Caral.
I am Peruvian and I love my country very much. So proud!
❤😍🇵🇪
Peru is a fantastic country with a great story to tell ... I remember the Disney animated film "The Emperor's New Groove", very funny! Peru is one of the Latin countries that attracts your attention the most, there is a lot of food diversity, ethnic groups, culture, landscapes, territories, jungles, beaches, deserts, oaisis, rainbow mountains, Machu Picchu, the Amazon is the third country largest in South America and the one with the oldest history.
Thank you very much for the video

Hello also Peruvian as well. Well actually a Peruvian born in the United States (which might possibly have Inca ancestry) I know some stuff and was curious about a lot of things. I knew a good amount of history on the Incas and how they were conquered. I’m interested in the Cold War portions that the United States had caused as my mother has claimed that the United States believed in imperialism and took a lot of Peru’s resources via some American companies that were in Peru at the time of my grandfather. I don’t know if that’s true I’m simply looking for some resources to get there but come up short. A lot of the videos I’ve seen that are on CZcams are in Spanish, which isn’t an issue because I speak Spanish. I just don’t want to fall into the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories my dad has done and has been for a while now.
@@TheVeganStudent_ your mother is 100% right. Peru letting the USA and any of the super power countries exploit our land and resources is not the answer. Peru can be self sustaining without any so call international aid from the USA, Canada, Europe, or South Africa. We can self sustain through the support and fund allocation through our own countries’ entrepreneurship, innovation, and institutions. We can advocate for prioritizing more of our own businesses and entrepreneurs rather than being dependent on a super power country for their own benefit. Examples of US American companies currently exploiting natural resources from Peru to benefit their economy while oppressing my indigenous communities: Freeport- McMoRan, American Tower, Newmont, Southern Copper, And Igredion. South Africa: gold fields. Canada: Teck Resources and pan American silver
@@miguelgutierrez5622 thanks for that, I did find some sources about it, and it seemed to be with most South American countries that the USA exploited for resources.

SC 03 Thanks for sharing
Yeah! . . . ( . _ . )
My Great-great mother only knew Quechua & Aymara, Grandmother speaks Quechua & Castellano (Spanish), my mother knows little of Quechua & fluent Spanish, I was born in Perú, but left the country at a young age, I speak fluent Spanish & English, but I don’t know anything about Quechua & Aymara.
Don’t let your heritage die, if it does, your descendants, what they did and suffer will at a point be in vain.
Now that I’m older, I’m starting to see how wonderful and unique my country is. Thanks for sharing this information.
With my mother being from Peru making me half Peruvian I can say this video is very informative and has educated me about things I didn't know before great video.👍
So you ate half a llama!!!
My mother is from Peru 🇵🇪 and watching this video was great 👍 thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Here are some other lesser known civilizations, and cultures of Ancient Peru 🇵🇪
-Bandurria 3200 BCE
An archaeological site located in Peru’s Lima Department. It’s a collection of pyramids and circular plazas similar to that of ones built by the Norte Chico Civilization. It’s also built right next to the Pacific Ocean. The people who lived here were fishermen who relied on the ocean.
-Ventarron 2000 BCE
Another archaeological site which is located in northern Peru. It was a religious center that attracted pilgrims from all over the region. It contains some of the oldest paintings ever discovered in the Americas.
-Sechin Culture 1800 BCE
A culture located in Peru’s Casma Valley. In the valley, this culture built massive temples and plazas. In one temple, there are strange carvings that depict violence, war, or a sacrifice.
-Cumbeymayo 1500 BCE
Another archaeological site located 12 miles southwest of the city of Cajamarca. It comprises of large aqueducts and strange petroglyphs.
-Cupisnique Culture 1500-200 BCE
A culture that flourished in northern Peru. It’s known for having one of the earliest depictions of the Andean God Ai Apaec. This deity was very important to this culture. It’s believed that this culture may be a precursor to the Moche Civilization. In Moche religion, Ai Apaec is the chief deity.
-Paracas Culture 600-200 BCE
A culture that inhabited the desert southern Peru. The Paracas are believed to be a precursor to the Nazca Culture due to the Paracas carving Geoglyphs into the desert similar to that of the Nazca Lines.
(Geoglyphs are massive carvings made into the earth). There are also many mummies and even a pyramid similar to that made by the Nazca culture.
-Virú Culture 200 BCE-600 ACE
A culture that also flourished in northern Peru. It’s known for beautiful ceramics and temple called Huacas. A Huaca is a Quechua word that usually means “sacred place” or anything associated with rituals (Like temples or pyramids).
-Vicus Culture 200 BCE-600 ACE
Another culture located in northern Peru. It’s known for its beautiful ceramics of felines
-Lambayeque/Sican Civilization 750-1375 ACE
A civilization that succeeded the Moche Civilization. One of the most important cities built was Tucume which has 26 mud brick pyramids built. Many pyramids are very eroded. It’s believed that a climate change catastrophe is responsible for its downfall. It’s also believed that a similar disaster happened to the Moche civilization which led to their downfall. After these disasters, civil war, human sacrifice, and chaos plagued the region which allowed other cultures to rise to power.
-Chachapoyas 900-1470 ACE
A culture that flourished in the Andes Mountains. They are also known as “Warriors of the Clouds”. One of the best known city’s of this culture is Kuelap. The thing this culture is best known for is the practice of mummification.
-Chiribaya Culture 900-1450 ACE
A culture that flourished in southern Peru and northern Chile 🇨🇱. Known for the many mummies found in tombs and even mummies of dogs.
-Chancay Culture 1000-1450 ACE
A culture known for its beautiful textiles.
Peru is the country with the most history and diversity in Latin America, so you already know what your next travel destination will be. All "respected Americans" should study the amazing Peruvian culture that is as old as the Egyptian or Chinese. Peru is an enigmatic country full of very ancient culture, incredible as a single country has more history than almost all the Americas.
Mexico has really important pre Colombian civilizations too Maya, Aztec all had advanced culture's Peru is definitely a very interesting country but too say it has way more culture and history is an exaggeration.
@@chaoselite33 Norte Chico is the mother of all civilizations in the Americas. There is no equal in Mexico. We must study more that ancient civilization that is on a par with Egypt and China.
There is no such thing in Mexico as "CARAL" in Peru which is attributed an age of 5000 years and is considered the oldest city in America, as no older site with such a diversity of monumental buildings has been found so far on that continent. with different ceremonial and administrative functions.
@@alinapetriconi2208 even if it's the oldest city there's pretty impressive ruins through out Mexico and Central America the Mayan's left very advance culture stop trying to claim your culture is superior every one can nitpick and come up with random reasons for any view point.
@@chaoselite33 exaggeration? REALLY ... if you love this continent called AMERICAS you must know its beginnings!.. not to recognize that Peru has the oldest and most important history for development as a civilization in the americas is to fail in classe of history! hahahah and i'm not peruvian but americans love everything but the real peoples of America lol learn to recognize the REAL history of americas.

Hable gente quien estaba esperando este episodio. Greetings from Perú!!!
As a big fan of the Moche/Mochica, this documentary blowed me away with how faithful everything was to reality and largely justified my subscription to this service. Thank you for informing me of such incredible piece of media.
Peru is fascinating!
incredible culture, amazing landscapes, exquisite food (the best in the americas) and the most biodiverse country! You can be with llamas and alpacas in the Andes and anacondas in the jungle or pink dolphins.
Llama capital of the world. It’s a beautiful country filled with history. Hope to visit Machu Picchu soon
Llama.
You mean Lima?
@@TrealochLynch If Avery means "Lima" then no... Lima, Peru is a criminal's haven. Pickpockets, thieves, scoundrels, scammers, and more all lay in wait on the streets of Lima, Peru. Visitors to Lima (particularly westerners) should take heed and not dress like a tourist nor spend time photographing much around Lima for they will make themselves potential targets. When in Lima, "dress down" and try to blend in (i.e. don't act like a tourist). Kind reminders from some folks who just returned from Peru... and we found Lima to be the most unsavory city within Peru for all the rest was majestic/magnificent. We highly recommend hiring a Peruvian guide (driver) for your travels within Peru. A good one will make your Peruvian vacation a wonder.
TERRY LYNCH Pretty sure he meant llama since it is the llama capital. So many llamas and alpacas there
The amount of tourists in machu picchu is having a negative impact on the ruins. I heard they recently added cameras thanks to this. There are far more places to visit in Peru where one can appreciate its monuments without negatively impacting them.
I love Peru! amazing country
It is the most mysterious and attractive Latin country.
I lived in Chile, was married to a Chilena for many years, and have visited many parts of South America, including Peru. Peru is so interesting. If you have the good fortune to visit, try to learn something about it, and the areas you'll visit. You'll be fascinated. I've been to many parts of the world, but South America as a whole is my favorite part of the world. If all of my remaining international travel is only to South America, I'll be just fine with that.
I have been considering that as well, very interested in Southern Chile but as an American not sure where would be the best places to start...Argentina, Chile, Peru ect. I hear Argentina is the most European-like of the south American countries.
Chile is the country that feels more xenophobia towards Peru ... having an Inca past, they do not accept their history and reject it.
Did you know that under present-day Santiago there was an entire Inca city? Those stories are the ones that Chile will never accept ... due to the rejection that exists and the love that they have for feeling "European".
@@paolobenavides7446 You say it as if there were no xenophobia from Peru to Chile. Also in Peru itself there is contempt for its indigenous peoples, the upper class people are tremendously racist with the majority of its population.
@@KilapnF Peru has every right to dislike Chile. They invaded us and annexed territory. Chile has no reason to dislike Peru since Peruvians civilized that land.
@@etchalaco9971 I could say the same the other way around. Peru invaded and Chile went to civilize them. In short, what a caveman argument.
I love peru your dear brothers from ethiopia 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 and we both are a very mountainous country by the way.
¡Viva Peru! The population in Peru is the oldest of all the Americas. I am very happy with this video! and that the culture of my beautiful country is appreciated, blessings from Peru.

Whats incredible is that Quechua languages are still spoken in Peru and other Andes countries by nearly 10 million people. This language family outnumbers most other modern Amerindian languages, including the estimated few million Mayan-language family speakers.

Would love to see a episode of brazilian history. The guarani indians (natives of Brazil and Paraguay) interacted with the incas, they sometimes invaded and plunder the borders of the incas, more or less like the germanic peoples did in the the late roman empire.
Me lembrei da maneira como os tupi se referiam aos "tapuia" e o paralelo entre romanos e bárbaros.

50 seconds in and I just want to say how well made this video is. I have noticed in recent videos the quality had been increasing, keep up the good work.
The history of Peru is the most underestimated !! all Americans, they do not give it the respect it deserves nor the importance they should study in their schools the history of this continent called AMERICA and not love so much the immigration from Africa, Asia or Europe FIRST they must love To the origins of this continent called AMERICA more respect friends.
I will say , its time for people to discuss "who are Americans"
@@sachlangjamatia7141 I think it refers to people born in the United States
@@paolobenavides7446 the American continent and the United States are two very different things.
@@JayVee53 kinda confusing how many USA citizens call themselves Americans and then make it difficult to differentiate between USA and the other people of America. Despite the USA being more powerful and influential the many civilizations of the pre contact Americas are much more interesting in my opinion than murica.
Meep Meep my dad told me that at his work a co worker asked where he was from and he said Mexico just cause that what everyone knows no one knows our country, and then a couple days later that co worker was talking with someone and said raising their voice “yes h because the real Americans” as in saying other Americans are not Americans and that peopl from the US are the true ones 😂 the level of uneducated our society lives in today 🙄(I’m from Australia)
I will forever love the land where I was born, way up in the high central Andes east of Lima. It was a quiet and wonderful childhood in a small town with a lot of history and tradition dating back to Inca times. I left there to move here with my parents right before my adolescence and now grown up, I am forever grateful I was taken away. My Peru is a beautiful land with good people but, with a darker side full of prejudices and stereotypes that date back to the colonial times, sometimes worse than where I live here in the USA.
The Inca trail is the coolest thing I ever saw, it's insane how well that road is still in good condition
Ahh, Classic Epimetheus. CZcams’s best source for CREATIVE non-Eurocentric historical videos. Gotta love it. Much respect my friend, always keep doing what you’re doing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is the most interesting video for me. In Europe we learn only about the Inca empire. We believe Inca are the oldest civilization in Peru.

Thank you for sharing this video. I’m Peruvian and I feel so proud and connected with my roots of the Inca empire.
Peru was my favorite South American country. Blessed enough to have been to the 10 big countries down there. I like them all. Ecuador was second. Peru you could spend 2 months in and still not really see close to everything.
great video ! I love Peru for its delicious ceviche food, for the music "Andean and Afro-Peruvian music" llamas and alpacas there is nothing more adorable than that my bro! women I love how sweet and sexy they are looks like Jynx Maze hahahah There is no reason not to love Peru, there is also Machu Picchu and they have a lot of jungle like Indonesia. The best country in Latin America for me.
love from Peru! 💋❤❤❤
And the Conquest and the Viceroyalty of Perú is interesting and fascinating too , The history of the Inca Garcilazo de la Vega, the first Diva and peruvian superstar The Perrichole and the Viceroy Amat, the peruvian saints Saint Rose of Lima and Martin de Porres , The revolution of Tupac Amaru 2 and Micaela Bastidas, the first president woman from Perú the Mariscala and Agustín Gamarra, the lífe in the Viceroyalty immortalize in the watercolors of Pancho Fierro, the abolition of the slavery and the independence and more... The peruvian history is fascinating !
I can't express how satisfied I was with this video!
Thank you for featuring as many cultures as possible, like you did in the video on Mexico!
(I think that the only major culture you forgot to mention were the Chachapoyas or "The Cloud People", who are very little known, partially because they lived on the eastern side of The Andes, but their history spans over a millenium and reveals a very interesting society. Look them up, there is even a documentary on them, here on CZcams!)
I enjoy learning about the Wari Empire, Tiwanaku Empire and the Tawatinsuyu Empire. The Moche made head pottery that looks realistic also some of the Moche pottery depicted sexual action. I think the Spanish conquistadors of Mexico and Peru used a primitive form of biological weapons to killed millions of Native Americans.
Always great stuff EP, please keep it coming!
I just know that there are some kingdoms before mighty Inca Empire. The only thing I know from Peru in history is just Inca, nothing else. I don't know what's after Inca and it is quite interesting.
incas culture/kingdom/ empire were only the last wheel of all andean civilization which begginned in the 3500 years before Christ.
Others kingdoms of peru were Chavin, nazca, Chachapoyas, Empire Wari. Chimu. Huancas.
Woah. I didn't know Tupac was famous and important in this period. Later he even became a rapper.. what a man

Wow! Awesome video,Epimetheus.
I kid you not I was watching that documentary on the Moche when I got the notification
Wow, that is a cool coincidence :)
Just spent two weeks in Peru! Beautiful country and people !
Peru is home to the oldest civilization in the world. It's impressive how long these people survived.
Llamas and Alpacas!
Also, it's impressive how these people made so much stuff without the wheel. Proves that many people are ignorant that the wheel = means your advanced
Some people thing fire weapons means advancement when Inca empire was maybe the mayor food producing state before the spanish even arrived here. It is common knowledge that Actual Peru just barely produce a lil bit more than the inca empire produced 500 years ago.
Guinea pigs too bruh, don't forget them
You clearly put so much time and effort into your videos, thank you so much sir.
Thanks for another amazing video, with so many interesting informations! ❤️
The qhipu is really interesting as an information storagedevice, I wish we had an even better understanding of how it worked
It's theorized that khipus and tokapus were a form of written system. Even with the few surviving samples, there's compelling evidence that suggest this. Some chronicles even mention Inka's libraries and a goverment initiative for collecting all knowledge in the country ordered by Inka Pachakutiq. Unfortunately, most of them were destroyed by catholic priests during the "extirpación de idolatrías".
Quipus are fascinating but I wish the Incas could have invented some sort of alphabet similar to the Mayan and Aztec one.
@@marcello7781 in fact, I think they did. That's why I mentioned the tokapus. It seems to be a syllabic system, not alphabetic, but no less impressive. The only surviving tokapus are in fabrics. Chronicles suggest that they also used the tokapu system on wood and gold tablets, along with illustrations. Chronicles also mention that some of these tablets were sent to Spain, but this particular ship might have sunk, or hopefully the tablets are hidden in some basement somewhere in the world, waiting to be discovered. There's an interesting book that has been found not too long ago, the "Exsul Immeritus", which has not been fully published as a facsimile yet, that provides hints about this writing system, additionally showing that the same verbal information that could be encoded in tokapus could also be represented in a special type of khipu: the Qhapaq khipu.
@@hector5851 I didn't know about the Exsul Immeritus, thanks for sharing this info!
I found some Harai pottery while I was helping to build the foundation of a church back when I lived there. It was probably some five feet down in the ground and I grabbed it when I saw this. It's definitely what I found down to the pattern. I didn't think it was actually so old but it was cool so I kept it.
¡Que vive Perú carajo!

Wow! This is a verry well made and interesting documentary. would have been even beter oif there was also a bit of information of the Chachapoyas in it.
Visited all these places during my last visit, like Caral, Chavín de Huantar, Chan Chan, Huaca Rajada, Huaca de Cao, the city of Atahualpa - Cajamarca and Kuelap. Most people know Peru only from the Inca's but I think the Northern part of Peru is even way more interesting, getting to know all these cultures. And there were even manny more. Like also the Chimú. And probably there's way more to be found. I'm even curious what will be still hidden in the Amazon there.
But great short informative video!
Great video as always
Excellent brief description of the history of Peru until the Spanish invasion. One point I’d like to comment about is that toward the end you displayed a picture of Bolivar while commenting about the liberation of Peru from the Spanish. Perú was liberated by the great Argentinian General Don Jose de San Martín one year before Bolivar arrived to Perú. The Spanish forces had relegated back then to the mountains of Peru and Bolivar forces, which included forces from now several republics including Peruvians, liberated the South American continent from the Spanish forces. I think is important to mention this because Don Jose de San Martín actually liberated a much larger territory than Bolivar which included what is now Argentina, Chile, Bolivia and Perú.
I really love your maps! Especially the one with the flags!
So well done!
Great video bro 🇵🇪
Simply amazing thank you
So cool that you made a lore video for the Emperor's New Groove. I liked that movie as a kid.
The huancas even received a special coat of arms from the spanish king for helping in the defeat of the incas. It is now the coat of arms of the city of huancayo, capital of the province of junin. In one part it shows 3 noble incas(orejones) decapitaded
Erwin o , i want an assssassin creeds set during the inca empire

I'm a latino from the U.S. and I went to Peru on a college seminar. I have to say that it was one of the most interesting, eye opening experiences of my life and I'm now convinced that I want to have my focus in Latin American history. I highly recommend that ANYONE go there and experience the languages and mix of cultures for yourself as well as visiting museums and archeological sights. Just maybe think about not driving in Peru! It gets a little hectic and crazy over there on the roads
I like the traditional Peruvian Ghibli music.
I am reading The Bridge of San Luis Rey. I wanted a little more history and information about Peru. This is a very good start. I am looking forward to discovering more about Peru. Thank you.
Thanks for this video. Just found your channel and got delighted to see my country included in your studies. XD
Nice work! 👏
Informative, useful, and helpful.
The moche Civilization is literally on thelevel of ancient egypt. When you got the lambayeque region, you can see giant hills that are not hills, but eroded pyramids made from adobe. Tucume Pyramids
Awesome video, love learning about ancient American history
