Where is Notre Chico located?
Norte Chico civilization
Leaders' ideological power was based on apparent access to deities and the supernatural.[12] Evidence regarding Norte Chico religion is limited: an image of the Staff God, a leering figure with a hood and fangs, has been found on a gourd dated to 2250 BC. The Staff God is a major deity of later Andean cultures, and Winifred Creamer suggests the find points to worship of common symbols of gods.[26][27] As with much other research at Norte Chico, the nature and significance of the find has been disputed by other researchers.[NB 3]
