Summary

A proposed Interpretation Center at the Chan Chan Archaeological Zone aims to preserve and deepen understanding of the Chimor culture, which uniquely emphasized celestial bodies like stars and the moon over solar worship. Unlike other pre-Inca cultures, the Chimor integrated astronomy into their cosmology, social structures, and architecture, yet this aspect remains unexplored in existing archaeological sites or local museums. The center would serve as a complementary educational resource, ensuring the cultural legacy of the Chimor civilization is not overshadowed by competing institutions.
