Huari Textiles
The People
The powerful and complex Huari Empire flourished from A.D. 750 to 1000. The empire was centered near the modern city of Ayacucho, Peru, and included a vast region of conquered coastal and highland lands across Peru. It's thought that the Huari, rather than force conquered peoples to submit to their religion, integrated local religions into an overarching ideology. The Huari were the first to use terraced agriculture in this hemisphere. They were sophisticated artists. Their textiles are considered to be some of the finest works of art from any era.
