Labrynths of Chan Chan, Peru
A view into a citadel built by the Chimu civilization in the pre-Colombian period, which was eventually conquered by the seemingly unstoppable Incan empire. Chan Chan is the largest adobe city in the world, stretching 20 square kilometers along the Peruvian coastline north of Lima. It contains a mausoleum, stables, many reliefs honoring non-human brethren, and areas for sacrificing all sorts of creatures - like every good city should!
