El Brujo
(The Wizard)

The goal of the project is the virtual reconstruction (using computers) of the painted figures on the ceiling of a ceremonial precinct at the Huaca Cao Viejo located within the archeological site of El Brujo (The Wizard). This ceiling was destroyed some time around A.D. 700.

The El Brujo project began with an agreement between the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, IBM, and The Augusto N. Wiese Foundation.

This project involves the collaborative efforts of computer scientists and archaeologists.
