Chimu Empire under Minchancaman
1395
On Peru's northern coast, the Chimu king completed conquests stretching from Tumbes to Casma, absorbing neighboring kingdoms into a centralized polity ruled from adobe Chan Chan, the largest pre-Columbian city in South America. His successors would fall to the Inca within two generations, but Chimu metallurgy and weaving would be absorbed into Inca craft.
