Detailed explanation-1: -They adopted aspects of the Chavin culture especially their pottery styles. They flourished from about 200 B.C. until about 600 A.D. The Nazca did not build great temples like the Chavin.
Detailed explanation-2: -They are particularly famous for their colourful pottery, textiles and geoglyphs known as the Nasca Lines – hundreds of huge lines, geometric figures and figurative images carved into the earth covering more than 500 square kilometres.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Nazca culture is characterized by its polychrome pottery, painted with at least 12 distinct colors. The shift from post-fire resin painting to pre-fire slip painting marked the end of Paracas-style pottery and the beginning of Nazca-style pottery.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Peruvian Nazca culture, which appeared around 200 B.C., preserved some of the Chavin culture. Around A.D. 300, the Moche civilization developed far inland, near the Ecuadorian border. The major urban center of Moche appeared in the valley of the Moche River, which flows to the Pacific Ocean.
Detailed explanation-5: -They settled in the Nazca and other surrounding valleys with their principal religious and urban sites being Cahuachi and Ventilla, respectively. The culture is noted for its distinctive pottery, textiles, and the geoglyphs made on the desert floor known as Nazca lines.
