On the ruins of the Moche kingdom rose the coastal empire of Chimu, originating at around 1000-800 ce. At their height, the Chimu ruled more than 800 miles of the northern coast. Around 1200, when the Chimu warriors were conquering affluent northern kingdoms, the Inca were still a minor chiefdom. But in the late 1400's, expanding rapidly from the central highlands, Inca armies conquered the Chimu and annexed them into their Empire.
