The Chimu culture was a pre-Inca civilization that flourished on the northern coast of modern-day Peru from approximately 900 to 1470 CE. They were known for their sophisticated hydraulic engineering, complex urban planning, and intricate artistry in metalwork and pottery. Their capital city was the massive adobe metropolis of Chan Chan, a testament to their organized society and engineering prowess.
