The primary items of clothing for men in ancient Peru were tunics, with or without sleeves. They had a vertical slit opening at the top for the neck. Considerable effort and time were invested in making elaborate tunics since, in addition to being practical, among many groups they were statements of ethnic affiliation, social status, and religious beliefs. Peruvian tunics display a great deal of variety in weaving technique and patterning and a wide range of colors.
The Nazca people were an ancient civilization in Peru known for their creation of the massive Nazca Lines, or geoglyphs, which are giant figures etched into the desert floor. This culture, which flourished from about 100 to 800 CE in the Nazca desert, also produced vibrant pottery, complex aqueduct systems for irrigation, and practiced cranial manipulation.
