Ancient Civilization of The Andes Exhibition is an exhibition of truly epic scale, the Nagoya City Museum looks at ancient Andean culture which covered a whopping 15,000 years, nine distinct civilisations and a geographical area that corresponds to most of the southern and northern side of South America. Said civilisations range from the prehistorical settlers of Caral in modern-day Peru to the Incas, who ruled over a mountainous empire from the 13th to the mid-16th century before being conquered by the Spanish. Split into ten chronological sections, the display also highlights the creators of the famed Nazca Lines and displays artistic masterpieces from across the Andes, including golden masks and accessories, ceramics and clothing.
Even with rapid modern technological progress, the Andean civilization is still shrouded in a thick cloud of mystery. The Nazca Lines, Uyuni Salt Lake and the Machu Pichu are only some of the perplexing remnants the civilization had left behind.
Various cultures within the Andes civilization repeated destruction and creation, and continued so for 15,000 years across a massive geographical area with severe climate. This exhibition will bring the latest findings of the unknown ancient people, with 200 historical items carefully selected to show the complex cultural weaving between cultures and technological progress that took place.
