Who are the Chavín?

One of the earliest Andean civilizations, the Chavín had a widespread influence on Andean culture and religion well after their own disappearance. They are known for advancements in agriculture and metallurgy, but also for potentially originating many aspects of later Andean spirituality and iconography. Their civilization may have been a collection of prominent ceremonial or religious centers with a shared culture, language, or belief system, rather than a militarily or politically united state, as there is very little evidence for weapons or warfare during the time period in which they flourished.
