Peru is currently outraged after a vandal was filmed spray-painting graffiti on a wall of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Chan Chan, an ancient city and the largest pre-Columbian city in America. The incident took place on one of the original walls, with footage circulating widely on social media. The suspect, captured on camera, daubed an obscene image, which Peru’s Ministry of Culture condemned as a grave disrespect to the country’s cultural heritage. Authorities are actively searching for the individual, who could face up to six years in prison if caught. This act of vandalism has raised concerns about security measures at the site, which attracts thousands of visitors monthly. Chan Chan served as the capital of the Chimú kingdom before falling to the Incas in the 15th century and is renowned for its intricate adobe structures and massive walls. The attack follows a recent incident where a tourist damaged the famous 12-Angle Stone in Cusco. The vandalism has sparked widespread public outrage and calls for increased protection of Peru’s archaeological treasures.
