About Wari Empire
A Middle Horizon civilization in the Andes with its capital near modern Ayacucho in Peru. The Wari built administrative centers and a road network later expanded by the Inca. They used knotted cords that may have been forerunners of the Inca quipu. Its decline may have been linked to prolonged drought.
