Chan Chan

Chan Chan
My father used to exclaim in disgust, "Well, that went over like a lead ball over a Mud Fence", when things went wrong.
The builders of the ancient Chimú city of Chan Chan near Trujillo, Peru might elicit a similar response if they could get a look at the state of their capital now.

This photo from the archives was taken with a Yashica ELECTRO 35CC and a COLOR-YASHINON DX 1:1.8 f=35mm lens using Kodak 135 daylight negative film, the negative scanned with a HP Scanjet G4050 and restored and digitalized with Photoshop tools.

It is astounding that the Chimú were able to construct subterranean canals bringing water from the base of the Andes long distances through one of the driest deserts in the world to support a city built of mud with an estimated population of 40,000-60,000
