Question
UCLA professor Christopher Donnan named a piece of pottery from this culture the “Presentation Ceremony” because he proposed that it depicted priests beheading captives and drinking their blood. This culture may have used the misha plant as a hallucinogenic, as its pottery depicts the plant alongside runners transforming into jaguars. This culture’s primary god is Ai Apaec, who is known in modern times as the Decapitator god. The name for this culture was coined by German archaeologist Max Uhle, who excavated (*) Huaca del Sol. The primary museum for this culture’s artifacts was established by Cornell grad Rafael Larco Hoyle in Lima. For 10 points, name this culture that inhabited coastal Peru for much of the first millennium CE. ■END■
