What Archaeology Says

Chavín de Huántar (c. 900–200 BC) was the religious center of the Chavín culture, one of the earliest complex societies in South America. Its underground galleries were deliberately designed to produce acoustic disorientation — a studied ceremonial technique used alongside psychoactive plant consumption (San Pedro cactus). The Lanzón depicts a supernatural fanged deity combining human and caiman/jaguar features — typical of Andean cosmological art.
