HUACA DE LA LUNA with Dr Ricardo Morales

(Video in Spanish. English subtitles available by clicking on menu in bottom right of video screen, and selecting preferred language in settings). Dr. Ricardo Morales, Specialist in Moche Archaeology. If there’s one must-see archaeological site in Northern Peru, this is it. The Huaca de la Luna, located near the city of Trujillo, was constructed between the 1st and 8th centuries using millions of adobe blocks. It is the best example of Moche architecture, and has yielded precious archaeological information on the Pre Inca Moche culture. Despite its age many parts of the temple are remarkably well preserved, the temples’ phenomenal multicolored friezes, make it one of the most interesting ancient sites in the Americas. For over 3 decades, Dr. Morales has undertaken archaeological research along Peru’s Moche Route. As a result of his work, we have a better understanding of the culture and history of the Moche people. In return, he has been honored with prizes including the Queen Sofia IV International Award in Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage for his work at Huaca de la Luna. For anyone who has ever visited Peru, but not quite made it to Huaca de la Luna, or if you would like to understand more about the Moche people, then this talk is certainly one you won’t want to miss.
