Moche material culture looks like the Aztecs. but the Aztecs are best understood as something like a premodern fascist state -- a non-monarchical imperialist power centered around a martial cult which produced self-justifying aesthetic spectacle.
the Moche were something different.

What is special about the Moche? Reading the wikipedia page, they didn't seem that atypical for historical Central/South America aside from the butt stuff thing.

it is extremely funny that the Aztecs were legitimately scared and offended by the Purepecha's attempts to murder as many Aztecs as possible every time Aztec warriors showed up to fight Tarascan soldiers
the transformation of the Aztec religion over 90 years or so is really fascinating stuff
we talk about the Aztec Empire as though it was an institution of great antiquity, but its worst abuses started in the time of living people's grandparents or great-grandparents. it had been growing more and more extractive and murderous as long as the current generation had been alive.

this is cursed, there's a reason the peoples under the aztecs were willing to help Spain out and it wasn't naivete
"Sapiens" is so normal for the first 70,000 years of human history but then goes absolutely buckwild as soon as it gets to colonialism

I've said it before but the Spanish were lucky to find the Aztecs. It saved them the effort of inventing the Aztecs in order to justify all of the crimes they were always intending to do.
"But the Aztec were bad!"
OK sure, I'll give them that, the Aztec were slavers and imperialists. But after the war against the Aztec the Spanish turned on all their former native allies and proceeded to wipe them all out and force their engineered culture upon the region in a very bloody conquest.

the spanish insisted that they didn’t do human sacrifice like those savage Aztecs and then also invented the auto-da-fe
The human sacrifice becomes a lot less strange when you realize you just need to dress up any socially-sanctioned homicide in religious ritual and presto! your culture has human sacrifice.
The Romans insisted they didn't do human sacrifice but the gladiatorial games had a religious element!
