New Archeological Wonder Unlocked 🔓 Diving deep into the mysterious past of the Huaca de la Luna y del Sol! Where human 💀 took place. These pyramids are located one in front of the other as if both buildings were predestined to stare at each other for the rest of eternity. They are built entirely in adobe, a material made of mud (clay and sand) that contains countless mysteries and legends inside! 🤯 These pyramids belonged to the Moche culture, which had its heyday during the 2nd and 7th centuries, in what we know today as the Libertad region, in northern Peru. They are located 30 minutes from Trujillo, the capital of the Liberteño department, and are part of the most important archaeological complex built by the Mochica culture. Huaca del Sol ☀️ It is the largest pyramid in the place: with its 345 meters long, 160 wide, and 30 high, it commands respect from everyone who passes through the area. It has a rectangular base and five terraces, where the ancient Moches carried out political and administrative activities. According to legend, its construction required 140 million pieces of adobe and the physical effort of no less than 250,000 men! Huaca de La Luna 🌑 Although the Huaca del Sol is the largest building in the area, it is presumed that the Huaca de la Luna was the main temple of the Moche culture. This space would have been used as a scene for human 💀 rituals, since up to 40 corpses belonging to young people, adults, and warriors were discovered inside. It is also home to beautiful polychrome murals, where the maximum God of the Moches, Ai Apaec, stands out. This supreme being had feline features -with impressive fangs- and bore the nickname of the Slaughtering God since human sacrifices were made in his name to guarantee the prosperity of the crops. Did you know about this place? 🧐 . . . . . #JawDroppingViews #AncientMarvels #HuacasOfTrujillo #SpiritualJourney #AncientRituals #ArchaeologicalWonders #MysteryUnraveled #ConqueringHeights #MocheArchitecture #HistoryUnearthed #PeruvianAdventure (at Terra Sur Travels) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpTSsOMuYoZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

He ruled with an iron fist. Balban reformed civil and military lines earned a stable and prosperous government, granting him the position alongside Iltutmish and later Alau'd-Din-Khalji, as one of the most powerful rulers of Delhi Sultanate. Balban broke up the 'Chahalgani' a group of forty most powerful and influential nobels in the court. He set up the first well-organized intelligence system, he set up espionage system to make sure all officials are loyal to the crown. He had spies to inform on his officials. In his court even the officials were punished for being unfair to their slaves. Balban re-organised the military against the threat of mongols, and also re-organised the revenue of Iqatadars (lands distribution between nobels, officers and soldiers. The area directly under Sultan was called Khalisa and rest of the area was called Iqra). #qutubminar #delhi #worldheritagesite #history #carving #stonestructures #stonecarving #historyofindia #slavedynasty #lalkot #qutubcomplex #window #ancientmarvels #india #phonephotography #photography #mumbai #maharashtra #redsandstone #marble #delhidiaries #quwwatulislammosque #ghiyasuddinbalban (at Qutub Minar) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmZqifAyiML/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
