Wooden sculptures, untouched tomb uncovered at Peru's ancient Chan Chan
Archaeologists working on the site of the ancient city of Chan Chan in Peru announced on Thursday (September 28) that they had found 4 wooden sculptures and an undisturbed tomb.
Archaeologists reported that the statues are around 70 centimeters (approx. 27.6 inches) long and wear funerary masks. One of the figures was of a male holding a cup at chest-height.
Chan Chan is a UNESCO World Heritage site located on the northern Peruvian coast close to the present-day city of Trujillo.
Chan Chan was the capital of the Chimu Kingdom and reached its height in the 15th Century before being conquered by the Incas.
