The Zenu culture expanded from eight centuries before the Christian age by the basins of the rivers Sinu, San Jorge, Cauca and Nechi. At the time of its boom, its territory was divided into three provinces with complementary economic roles: production of food tubers, of varied manufactures and exploitation of the native gold. Their chiefs, members of a same lineage,controlled the mass distribution of products.In the floodplains of the lower San Jorge they drove the waters through a system of artificial canals covering a wide territory. In over the years and with the arrival of the conquerors, this culture suffered setbacks in their habits and the ways of conceiving the universe. The extranjerizacion of the languages and his cosmovision made bend a scaffolding that was viewing a civilization that it was blooming inthe arts and sciences. Modernity has been imposing on this culture, despite that there is currently a curriculum that develops academic plots according to your way of thinking and transcend habits once their culture and social forms. The Zenu culture is covered in cabildos protected by the current Government, which promotes its culture, customs, and ways of looking at his cosmogonic vision.
