Which political formation emerged around AD 600 in the central highlands of Peru?
The Wari Empire was a political formation that emerged around AD 600 in the central highlands of Peru and lasted for about 500 years, to 1100 AD. It operated about the same time as the Tiwanaku culture and at one time was thought to have been derived from it.
In 2008 archeologists found a prehistoric city, the Northern Wari ruins, also called Cerro Pátapo, near modern Chiclayo. The find was the first to show an extensive settlement related to the Wari culture that far north and demonstrate that they had a long span of influence.

Never heard of it, but I knew it wasn't the other three

Seriously ! Considering that the Americas weren't discoverd by Europeans until the 15th century, how could the Roman, British or Byzantine empires possibly have been the answer for something that happened in the early 7th century ? Yet the majority of people went for those choices and praised the question.

I’ve been to Chiclayo and visited some of the sites. So very fascinating.

I hope you're kidding, Richard Boyle. I never heard of the Wari Empire, but the other choices are absolutely ridiculous.

Seriously? 43% went with the obviously incorrect answers!

Richard D. Boyle,
I don't mean to underestimate you, but I respectfully disagree, unless of course, you are being facetious. Without audible tone, sarcasm is difficult to read in print.
European and Mediterranean empires were unaware of the Americas until the late 15th century. By a simple process of elimination, there is only one possible answer. I'm sure you were being ironic.
