"While much attention has been paid to murals depicting scenes from everyday life, as well as elaborate sacrificial rituals, relatively few academic studies have investigated the subset of Moche ceramics depicting deities, skeletons, humans, and animals, involved in a wide variety of sexual acts. Yet, in fact, they may represent the most detailed account of sexual customs ever left by ancient peoples. "
The main language of the Andean people is Quenhuan. Before the pre-Columbian (pre-Hispanic) period of Peru, ceremonial pottery was buried with the dead. From the Quechua word "huaca" (meaning sacred burial place), Peruvians now call the ancient ceramics found there "huacos."
