1000-Year-Old Tomb Found In Peru

LIMA, PERU - NOVEMBER 30: Models of the ancient humans are seen at the Huaca Pucllana archaeological site in Lima, Peru on November 30, 2015. The team of archaeologists from the Huaca Pucllana discovered four tombs belonging to the Ychsma culture, who settled in the Central Coast between the years 1000-1450 AD. These four human burials, adult individuals belonging to three female and one male, whose finding reconfirms the presence of Ychsma in the ceremonial center. The remains were found at the top of the Great Pyramid, and correspond to individual graves, bodies located to the southeast, in sitting position, previously wrapped in tissue, baskets and ropes, and covered with mats and offerings as ceramic vessels, matt and various instruments related to the textile industry (needles, balls of yarn, textiles and other). It is stated that this is the first district in the country that has more than 1,500 years of known history to date. (Photo by Sebastian Casta–eda/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images)
