History:
Cerro Sechin is one of the oldest coastal Andean civilizations in Peru. It is part of an archipelago of archaeological centers in the Casma Valley that include Sechin Alto, Sechin Bajo, Manchan, Chankillo, and others located in close proximity to the Pan-American Highway. Located 168 miles (260 kilometers) north of Lima at the foot of the Sechin River in the Casma Valley, the ceremonial center was discovered in 1937 by Julio C. Tello, the father of Peruvian archaeology. Early excavations at the ceremonial site uncovered 97 engraved stone slabs along the outer wall of one building. The carvings date to 1770-1510 B.C. and depict combat rituals as well as human sacrifice. Further studies determined that the site is made up of five stone temples, which were part of a secondary structure that enveloped earlier mud buildings. Polychrome murals dated between 2290 and 2020 B.C. have been found in the surface of older mud buildings and depict stylized felines, an animal revered in the Formative Period. Over 300 carved monoliths have also been uncovered at Cerro Sechin, making it one of the earliest ornamented sites in the Americas. Some of its iconography is used in the decoration of the main public buildings and plazas of Casma city.
