This unique archaeological complex is located on an area of more than 14 km 2 and is admired by anyone who has visited it.
The ancient chan-chan complex is a pictogram of extraterrestrial civilizations.
The center of the complex, which occupies approximately 6 km 2, consists of ten large sites, which are surrounded by the remains of walls, as well as several free-standing pyramids. In the rest of the complex, there are poorly preserved remains of roads, canals, walls, cemeteries. In 1986, the chan - chan complex was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status. The city was later included in the Red List of World Heritage Sites as an architectural monument under threat of destruction.
Archaeologists consider Chan Chan the capital of the technically advanced and powerful Peruvian kingdom of Chimor Chimu culture. The existence of this state dates back to 1100-1470. The city itself flourished in the 13th - 15th centuries. In translation from the Chimu language, the name of the city is translated as "Shining Sun". In 1470, these territories were conquered by the Inca empire. The Inca warriors were able to take possession of the chan chan city, attention, only as a result of its complete blockade, the attackers built a dam and did not let the waters of the river on which the chan chan stood into the city. Only a lack of fresh water forced the besieged inhabitants to surrender to the Incas.
Later, conquered and partially destroyed during the siege, the chan chan was restored, and the city returned to a peaceful life. In comparison, the Chimu culture in many ways surpassed the culture of the Incas, but we must pay tribute - the latter were able not only to see and preserve the achievements of the people they conquered, but also to give them the opportunity to join their community. By the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors, the city had become one of the many prosperous Indian settlements of the great Inca empire, although it no longer had an important political role. The Spanish conquerors enthusiastically carried out marauding excavations in the city, suggesting the presence of "Innumerable" treasures, which, in their opinion, must have been hidden in the pyramids and the thickness of the clay walls.

The city was built by craftsmen from the most accessible material in these parts - clay soil, the so-called adobe, sometimes the soil was mixed with totoro, a local variety of reeds. Large structures were made of adobe bricks laid with powerful masonry on stone foundations. The ramps and platforms are made of broken bricks and other construction waste mixed with clay. Modern visitors to the complex are amazed at the apparent simplicity and unprecedented beauty of the ancient structures. To this day, chan chan is considered the largest adobe city in the world.
And now about the structure of this so-called city. The center of the chan chan is considered to be nine main structures, they are usually called palaces or citadels, in the local name "Ciudadelas". All the mentioned citadels are absolutely similarly oriented from north to south, all have one single entrance, located in the northern wall; wooden statues of idols stand guard at the entrance in special niches. The largest of the available ciudadellas measures 20,530 sq. Meters. Rectangular "Palaces" are surrounded by walls that rise to a height of 9 m and a width at the base of about 4-5 meters. The inner space of each palace is also identical and is divided into three sectors: north, central and south. In the northern sector there was a gigantic square, bordered by low walls along the perimeter. They, according to the researchers,probably used as seats for any public events or spectacles. A ramp leads deep into the territory, which abuts into the zone of courtyards, which are called "Audiences", in the center of them there are U-shaped buildings. It is assumed that the purpose of the buildings is ritual.
The walls of the entrance courtyard are decorated with brick friezes, completely decorated with geometric patterns of birds, fish and mythological creatures. The central sector contains a large number of premises that are designated as warehouses. There is also a low truncated pyramid, in the local name "Huaca", which is the burial place of a number of different people. Researchers believe that these structures were the burial place of the rulers of each of the citadels. The owner was buried accompanied by servants, wives, concubines, and was also supplied with everything necessary for life. Colonial documents contain data on wooden and metal items, fine ceramics, and fabrics found by the Spaniards in early excavations of burial pyramids. Directly in the southern sector, the daily life of the owner is considered and passed,this sector was the most spacious. Archaeologists identified the kitchen and bedrooms here, and it was also here that the wells were located, providing the entire palace with fresh water.
Nowadays, the tsshudi palace or the central house is open for tourists to visit - the most famous of the palaces in the city of chan chan, which is supposed to have been erected around 1400. Another name for the citadel is "Nik An", the researchers decided that since this palace is decorated with a nautical theme, it is dedicated to the god of the sea, respectively. The main distinguishing attraction of the palace is the impressive swimming pool located in the central part and preserved to this day. Probably ceremonies related to water and fertility were held here. Around the central part of the city, the territory has been preserved much worse, archaeologists have designated here cemeteries, outbuildings, such as, for example, granaries, warehouses, a rather complex irrigation system. There were also orchards and cultivated fields and vegetable gardens,which were deliberately buried in order to reach groundwater.
And now I would like to explain to the reader why the description of this truly extraordinary corner of our planet appeared on our website. We were interested in the point of view on this complex of two famous scientists - V. Popova, Doctor of Engineering. Sciences, and L. Andrianova, candidate of technical. Science. Since 1995, they assure, they have been given the opportunity to receive and record information through channeling (this is the term for obtaining knowledge from the outside that comes to a person spontaneously, during reflections.
According to them, the earth's magnetic field reaches a critical value, which will lead to the onset of global cataclysms on the planet. Extraterrestrial civilizations want to familiarize us with the scenario of approaching catastrophic events and the need for humanity to perform certain actions to continue the life of our civilization. The means of transmitting the information we need is the countless number of complexes created by extraterrestrial civilizations - pictograms in stone. Stonehenge, stone circles of aveberi, machu - picchu, Nazca drawings, moai of Easter Island and other objects are called among the stone objects that talk about consciousness and its capabilities in changing planetary existence. The latest instructions for the continuation of human life in an emergency on earth,formed due to the critical weakening of the magnetic field, extraterrestrial civilizations are transmitted through crop circles. So, in the opinion of these scientists, the ancient chan-chan complex is nothing more than a pictogram created by representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations that carries information about the weakening of the planet's magnetic field and the place of the first preliminary cataclysm. Their interpretation of this pictogram says that the epicenter will arise in the Pacific Ocean from the side of the Peru, at the intersection of the cold Peruvian current, that is, the Humboldt current, with the El Niño current. Scientists claim that masked idols depict humanity, and the chan-chan complex was created as a purely demonstration and not intended for living. It complements the emergency crop circle information. In the buildings of the chan - chan, scientists see images of the structures of the human brain and schemes for the unification of consciousness, which will help humanity to make the transition to another environment. Thus, the presence of a pool in the tsshudi palace symbolizes, in their opinion, the transition to another environment - water, not land, and depicts other living conditions at the highest level of the material world. Other elements of the central house also tell about this transition. Endless rhombus walls demonstrate the threat of the planet's magnetic field to humanity on earth. As well as crop circles show the source of danger - the weakening of the earth's magnetic field and the beginning of global cataclysms.and depicts other living conditions at the highest level of the material world. Other elements of the central house also tell about this transition. Endless rhombus walls demonstrate the threat of the planet's magnetic field to humanity on earth. As well as crop circles show the source of danger - the weakening of the earth's magnetic field and the beginning of global cataclysms.and depicts other living conditions at the highest level of the material world. Other elements of the central house tell about the same transition. Endless rhombus walls demonstrate the threat of the planet's magnetic field to humanity on earth. As well as crop circles show the source of danger - the weakening of the earth's magnetic field and the beginning of global cataclysms.
The ornament, which includes the image of fish and waves, denotes a formidable warning about the danger of disappearing land in this area of the globe and filling it with water - the habitat of fish. This is a warning about the occurrence of the first preliminary cataclysm, covering this area specifically.
The bird's ornament is a symbol of the transition - the flight of mankind to the highest safe level of the material world in the next cycle of life for salvation from cataclysms. Similar symbols of stylized birds include the hummingbird and the pelican, the condor in Nazca drawings, the bird - a man on Easter Island, swallows in crop circles, and others.
Thus, through the bird ornament, extraterrestrial civilizations show us the only salvation from imminent cataclysms - the transition to a new cycle of life through the united consciousness of humanity. The destruction of the human body is symbolized by the numerous long horizontal lines drawn on the walls of the complex. I'm afraid my too simplified description of the decoding of this pictogram of the chan-chan complex by the mentioned scientists may make readers skeptical, but those interested in this topic, the World Wide Web can provide a more thorough step-by-step study of the symbols. Regardless of your attitude to this information, believe me, the unique chan-chan complex is worth your dream to see it someday with your own eyes.
