El Brujo
An sun ornament dug up from Huaca Cao Viejo at El Brujo, a remote complex of pyramid ruins of the Moche - a culture that ruled Peru's north coast from about A.D. 100 to 800. Digging in the Moche Valley in 1899, German Archaeologist Max Uhle was the first to realize that the region held graves and ruins of a people then unknown to historians.
