Moche culture
Moche culture connects to 3719 places across 14 topics through 51 Bunkabop connections, with archaeology and art as the dominant threads. Its strongest co-connected place is Peru, but its reach extends to Bolivia, Colombia, and beyond through shared topics in Andean prehistory and trade. Moche ceramics recorded agriculture, depicting fruits like cherimoya, and medical subjects such as conjoined twins as early as 300 AD. The culture succeeded the Cupisnique and shared iconographic parallels with it, including the Spider god motif.
