Chimor, was also known as the Kingdom of Chimor or the Chimú Empire. They maintained the largest and most important political system in Peru before the Inca. The distinctive pottery of the Chimú aids in dating Andean civilization in the late periods along the northern coast of Peru. The political grouping of the Chimú culture centered on Chimor, with the capital city of Chan Chan, a large adobe city in the Moche valley on the present Trujillo city. The culture arose about 900 AD, succeeding the Moche culture, and was later conquered by the Inca emperor Topa Inca Yupanqui around 1470, fifty years before the arrival of the Spanish in the region.
