I found some other stories about this place and history.

Scientists write that the place was really agriculturally rich between 100BC and 400AD (especially after 100AD), but an El Nino event trashed the place with a massive flood at or before 500AD, ruining irrigation systems and forests.
..........
On this there was one haltingly sad story that showed up five to ten years ago in National Geographic or Archaeological Digest. Archaeologists found the bodies of hundreds of high caste people on the top of a pyramid in Peru that dated to about 500 AD. They all had their heads bashed in and their throats cut. The events date to a large el nino and the manner of their deaths suggests they were sacrificed.

One can see the locals endlessly bashing in the heads of their nobles in a desperate attempt to stop the rains.

OK, now we have an answer for “What should we do about Congress?”

It’s been one of the problems of societies throughout the word that someone who is not responsible for what happens takes one in the ass, or in some cases, the cranium. Apparently people stopped buying their partiicular line of BS.
