A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode of The Story of Peru, Lucas and Luna explore the Wari Empire, a powerful but often overlooked civilization that dominated the central Andes centuries before the Inca. Starting from their capital near modern Ayacucho, the Wari built a vast network of roads, administrative centers, and terraced agriculture. They expanded through a combination of military force and cultural influence, spreading their distinctive religion centered on the Staff God and the Gateway God. The Wari also developed a unique system of tocapu geometric designs on textiles that may have served as a form of communication. Unlike the Inca, the Wari empire was more decentralized, relying on provincial centers like Pikillacta near Cusco. Their collapse around 1000 AD, possibly due to drought and internal rebellion, left a power vacuum filled by regional cultures until the Inca rose centuries later. Join us as we uncover the legacy of the Wari, the first true empire of the Andes.
