Both expressions had communications in a certain way, such as a cultural process that during almost 4000 years, they formed the mayor worlds, that had build a great avance in their region, succumbed on the Spaniard arrival in the XVI century.
From the archaeological point of view, Peru and Mexico, had similar formative cultures developments, such as in its oldness, agriculture, art or iconography and their relationship with later cultures; which are more than enough for the archaeologists to be impressed because of its similarity than from its differences.
The Olmec's in Mesoamerica and Chavin's in the Central Andes, testify the formation of the first societies in America, in other words, Mother Cultures of their civilizations.
In the Andean world, rescuing the past, is a chore for Archaeology. Which involves seeking for the unknown and recovering the testimonies of a pre-history, universal heritage of human kind.
