Wari Civilization
The Wari were a Middle Horizon civilization that flourished in the South-Central Andes and coastal Area of modern-day Peru. Wari art is the best evidence in textile finds which often depict the staff Deity, plants, the San Pedro cactus flowers, pumas, conders, ans especially llamas, illustrating the importance of these herd animals to the Wari. Wari draws a contrast between endocannibalism and “exocannibalism,” or the eating of “outsiders”: enemies captured in war and foreigners who wandered onto the tribe's territory. The Wari' ate outsiders with relish, roasting them and eating them voraciously, with their hands, just as they would consume a big kill.
