The Moche was an ancient Peruvian culture of sailors with an advanced agricultural technique. As it usually happens with Pre-Columbian cultures, many have associated objects and archeological discoveries with Western notions of life and the universe. So, when specialists discovered a set of erotic or highly explicit pottery objects, many assumed they were representations of the Andean sex life. However, archaeologists, historians, and specialists believe that since this society revolved around irrigation (they invented systems to transport water), these pots are a representation of their systems. Because they saw water as a source of life, sexual imagery became symbol of it as well.
