Wari Empire

State | Defunct

600 CE to 1100 CE

The Wari Empire is a political formation that emerges around CE 600 in the central highlands of Peru and lasts for about 500 years, to 1100.

It operates about the same time as the Tiwanaku culture and at one time was thought to have been derived from it.

In 2008 archeologists found a prehistoric city, the Northern Wari ruins, also called Cerro Pátapo, near modern Chiclayo.

The find was the first to show an extensive settlement related to the Wari culture that far north and demonstrate that they had a long span of influence.
