Chimu

Chimor was a Chimú kingdom centred on the adobe city of Chan Chan in northern Peru's Moche Valley. Its irrigated lands and coastal trade supported a power that expanded north into the Sican lands.

By the fifteenth century Chimor was the greatest power left on the Peruvian coast. Around 1470 the Inca emperor Topa Inca Yupanqui conquered it, captured its ruler Minchançaman and carried him to Cusco. Chimor survived as an Inca client until the Spanish reached Peru in 1532.
