The ancient civilizations of the South American Andes created spectacular monuments and buildings, and these edifices had a range of impact on the cultures they served. Jerry Moore examines what the architecture of the Moche, Chimu, and Inca reveals about the roles of authority, conflict, and ritual in the cultural identities of these societies.
