Ep. 27: The Chimú

Late in the 15th century, there was an empire on the Northern coast of modern-day Peru: The Chimor Empire.  The Chimu made their home in the Moche Valley, the culture who had inhabited the area over 500yrs prior.  On the dry western coast of the continent, the Chimu were able to create a thriving empire that controlled trade and made exquisite works of gold.  If it hadn’t been for a certain Inca who was coming down from the Andes, it is possible that this podcast would have a different title.If you’d like to support the show monetarily please click the following link: https://www.patreon.com/incapodcast.  And thank you!Please follow the show on Twitter @Incapodcast, find us on our Facebook page: A History of the Inca or check out our website: http://ahistoryoftheinca.wordpress.com.Intro music by: Kalx aka Kaliran: Andean Lounge, Scream of the DevilTransition music by: Kike Pinto
