    The Chavin culture in North America flourished between 850-200 BC and was known for combining natural and geometric designs in their architecture and artwork, most notably at their ceremonial center Chavin de Huantar. The Moche culture followed the Chavin and settled near the Moche River, constructing large pyramids like Huaca del Sol and Huaca de la Luna. Renowned for their metallurgy and pottery, the Moche reached their peak after the Chavin declined. The Paracas culture overlapped with Chavin between 600-150 BC and were renowned textile artists along the south coast of Peru, using clothing for visual communication.
