Wari was the first empire to emerge among the Central Andean civilizations of South America, during the Middle Horizon (MH, 650–1000 ce ). In comparative archaeological terms Wari belongs to the early Bronze Age, and like all pre‐Hispanic Andean cultures it is completely prehistoric, with no writing to assist interpretations. Wari began imperialistic expansion through interaction with Peru's South Coast Nasca culture, but later adopted a new religion from Tiwanaku, the other great capital city of the Andean MH world. Wari's political and economic infrastructure, along with its religious innovations, are thought to have foreshadowed Inca imperial organization 500 years later
