Online Lecture: Peru Before the Incas — 40 Years of Archaeological Discovery

Join historian and archaeologist Oscar Oviedo Velasco for a fascinating exploration of some of Peru’s most important archaeological discoveries from the last 40 years. Most people are familiar with the Inca Empire, but far fewer know about the remarkable civilizations that came before. From early tombs in the Andes to monumental sites along the coast, Oscar will highlight recent discoveries tied to pre-Inca cultures, including the Moche and Lambayeque. Through the lens of archaeology and cultural history, discover the extraordinary depth of Peru’s pre-Inca past.
