Tucume Lambayeque Peru was a religious ceremonial complex made up by 26 pyramids built around La Raya (Stingray) Mountain about one thousand years ago by Naylamp (a personage that came from a far away place by sea) descendants. It has been proven that in this area there is intermixed Japanese and other Asiatic ADN but there is no proof that any particular family came from a precise country.
It is located around 700 kilometers north of Lima, 60 kilometer north from Chiclayo, in the axis east to west between San Jose to Chaparri Mountain, a place full of legends and mythology.
San Jose today is small fishing seaports thought to be in the neighborhood where was the legendary point of disembark of the mythological founder of Lamballeque Naylamp a great ruler with godly attributes.
Naylamp arrived from a far away place in the sea, he brought art and technology to this region; his legend states that after he grew wings he disappeared remounting to the sky or heaven, his descendants and servants spread out looking for him, they did not came back but the people that went looking for him founded many cities, one of his sons is credited as the founder Tucume.
This myth it is very similar on content to Tacaymano legend, also a mythological semi god, he is the founder of the Chimu kingdom, that came to Pacatmanu close to modern Pacasmayo; it is reasonable to think that there is relation between this legends.
Chaparri Mountain is also linked to a legend, represents the burial place of Chaparri, a legendary hero that saved the region form his evil brother who destroyed once Tucume and other city temples around, looking for the treasures of the ancient Lamballeque people.
Only in Tucume are 26 adobe pyramids but in Lamballeque and contiguous places were built by hundreds they are similar to the Egyptian solar temples made by trapezoidal blocs linked by a ramp; built during the fifth Egyptian dynasty and the “Middle Empire” period including Hatshepsut mortuary temple in the 18th dynasty in the west Valley ancient Thebes.
The Lamballeque people were great goldsmith they had an advanced knowledge in metallurgy outstanding over the other pre Columbian civilization of ancient Peru.
Tucume once was seriously threaten by the Mochica, a warring state in the southern frontier but after a period of 30 years of extreme flooding rains caused by “El Nino Phenomenon” they disappeared, it seems that rain where not so strong around Tucume and for the reason this people later they invaded the Mochica territory for a short time for the reason that shortly after the Chimu appeared, and conquered practically all the north coast of actual Peru.
El Nino (the boy) have been hitting this area from time to time repeating at different intervals and intensities, those are very destructive periods not only for the agriculture as well for the structures made of sun dried mud bricks that are heavily punished during these occurrences.
This picture of what before was a magnificent pyramid, now looks like a sad caricature, you can compare it with the previous pictures taken only with ten years of difference, but in the interval this abode pyramid was visited by the Nino only once.
