PeruPachacámac is an archaeological site 40 kilometres southeast of Lima, Peru in the Valley of the Lurín River [1]. The site was first settled around A.D. 200 and was named after the "Earth Maker" creator god Pacha Kamaq [1]. The site flourished for about 1,300 years until the Spanish invaded [1]. Pachacamac covers about 600 hectares of land [1]. In the 1890s archaeologists first began exploring Pachacamac [1]. The Temple of the Sun is 30,000 m2 in size and is in the shape of a trapezoid [1]. Most of the common buildings and temples were built c. 800–1450 CE [1].
