I don't have time to sit through 30 minutes of a documentary, alas -- however, I don't see ANY references to tablets at Chan Chan, nor do I see any references to writing there (but it was a quick look around.)

Von Daniken HAS been known to make up information. Without a better reference, I can't say what it is. He's also been known to use drawings that were ... created ... by people within the past 70 years and are supposed to be images hundreds or thousands of years old.

I would bet that it's one of these two. If there had been real inscriptions there, material about it should be easy to find.

I saw the tablet and I am pretty sure it is a bricks code tablet. I have seen bricks code used on several book covers, and may be where you recognize it from.
