Great ruined and abandoned pre-Inca city on the present-day northern Peruvian coast, the capital of the Chim� kingdom (c. AD 1200 - 1400). The site is about 300 miles (480 km) north of Lima in the Moche Valley, between the Pacific and the city of Trujillo. The ruins, which cover nearly 14 square miles (36 square km), are in good condition because the area is rainless. The city was watered by irrigation ditches,
