One of the realms of Chimú Empire (Chimor). The Chimú kingdom, called Chimor, arose around 900 in the Moche valley on Peru's desert north coast, where the Moche civilisation had flourished earlier. Its capital, Chan Chan, was the largest adobe city in the Americas, made up of walled royal compounds, each built by a king who was buried in it with his treasures.
