The Chavín´s "cabezas clavas" were some sculptures that were pasted in the walls of the "Chavín de Huántar" temple. The sculptures were very detailed and most oif them had the dilated pupils, contracted facial muscles, open nostrils and their mouthes looks like they were whistling. They are really well detailed and also big sculptures. The sculptures represent tthe Chavín's gods and these gods were usually a mix of animals and humans. The "cabezas clavas" can show us their beliefs because of the representation of their gods they belief in. Also how they do the sculptures and can show the recources they had and abilities to create sculptures.

The "Mantos funerarios" were used to wrap the dead bodies of people with multiple mantles. Then, they put offerings next to the mantles. They use some tombs that were really big and deep. They put the offerings and the mantles inside this really big tomb. The mantles had different animals that had meanings. The felines mean the "terrenal world", the birds mean "the upper world" and the snakes mean "the below world". These mantles can show and represent their believes in their gods because the animals were represented as gods and these mantles have different animals and some of them can show us a history of the ways of life of the people or represent an animal god.

The "Líneas de Nasca" are located in Nasca and Palpa. The lines are drawings of figures of animals like felines, birds and also some bugs. They were build in really big desertic land spaces and were geometrically perfect. To see these lines you need to climb a tall mountain so you can see the beautiful lines. Because of this, explorers that have research about these lines, have made a lot of crazy different theories about the reason these lines were made. (One theory) They can be some art pieces from artists from that culture. The lines represent their beliefs in gods because of the animals draw in the floor.
