>the Moche were trying to say: SEX KILLS

>>17889732, but burial offerings specifically made to be placed alongside graves. So why the hell would they include some funny sex joke in a funeral?
Well, itβs often hard to tell, but sometimes itβs easier to link Moche funeral pots to the life of the deceased, even showing a sequence of events.
According to Larcoβs theory, the sex pots were meant to show what the relatives believed caused the personβs death. Supporting this, theyβre often found next to bottles showing deformed people, things that look very much like syphilis and the like. And in many cases, itβs not even living people having sex, but undead ones.
