>the Moche were trying to say: SEX KILLS

You see, these weren't everyday items like people often think >>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, it’s often hard to tell, but sometimes it’s easier to link Moche funeral pots to the life of the deceased, even showing a sequence of events.

According to Larco’s theory, the sex pots were meant to show what the relatives believed caused the person’s death. Supporting this, they’re often found next to bottles showing deformed people, things that look very much like syphilis and the like. And in many cases, it’s not even living people having sex, but undead ones.
