Recent incidents at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Chan Chan in Peru have sparked widespread outrage. The archaeological site, known as the largest city in pre-Columbian America and the former capital of the Chimú kingdom, was defaced by vandals who spray-painted obscene images and graffiti on its ancient walls. Video footage captured a man spray-painting a crude image, including a penis, on one of the original walls, circulating widely on social media. Peru's Ministry of Culture condemned the act as a serious violation of national heritage regulations, with the suspect potentially facing up to six years in prison. The vandalism has raised concerns about security at the site, which attracts thousands of visitors monthly, and has prompted calls for better protection measures. This incident follows a recent attack on the famous 12-Angle Stone in Cusco, highlighting ongoing threats to Peru’s archaeological treasures. The vandal's actions demonstrate a grave disrespect for Peru’s rich history and cultural heritage, prompting national and international condemnation.
