Kebudayaan Chavín itu apa sih?

Kebudayaan Chavín adalah sebuah peradaban prasejarah yang telah punah, yang mengambil nama dari Chavín de Huantar, situs arkeologi utama dimana artefak-artefaknya ditemukan. Budaya tersebut berkembang di dataran tinggi Andes utara Peru dari 900 SM sampai 200 SM. Budaya tersebut meluaskan pengaruhnya ke peradaban lain di sepanjang pesisir.
