Mud-brick pyramid in Tucume, Peru.
Archeological excavation sites are covered with roof.
Tucume, built in 1100 AD, is one of three pyramid cities. The site was an important population center for the region as the final capital of the Sican culture. It was later incorporated into the Chimu realm around 1350 AD and then finally absorbed by the Inca Empire a hundred years later.
Unlike Egyptian and Mayan pyramids, these pyramids were built of adobe bricks, which have been deteriorated over 1000 years. Just looking at a glance, these seem small hills. Looking more closely, individual bricks are visible.
Constructed in 2570 BCE. The section on top is part of the original sheathing. The pyramids were covered in a smooth layer of granite or high quality limestone which made the pyramid shine in the sunlight.

Taken on a VERY rainy day in Rome, Italy during our 5 day photography trip. We gained access to the Ostiense Museum which is located in the gatehouse of Porta San Paolo. We climbed to the highest windows nearest the pyramid for a variety of angles.
