The event took place at Huaca Pucllana, a unique archaeological place. In the fifth century of our era, the Lima valley inhabitants started the construction of that place. Two important reasons inspired the group of sacred priests, who were the governing rulers at that time. The first reason was their need to express their religious authority. The second reason was directly linked with the control of the hydrological resources stemmed from the water canal system, on the left bank of the Rimac river. Therefore, Pucllana was an important ceremonial and administrative location. Its magnificence was reflected by the configuration of a monumental architecture. It was built with small mud bricks wrought on a continuous base of blocks and remodeled during the three centuries of the Huaca existence.
