Chavin de Huantar
1200 av. J.-C. – 200 av. J.-C.
The religious capital of the first major civilisation in South America — a ceremonial centre in the Peruvian Andes dating to 1200-200 BCE whose underground galleries, stone carvings, and oracle cult spread the Chavin art style across a vast network of Andean cultures, prefiguring the Inca by two millennia.
