In August 2011, for the first time, archaeologists discovered dead bodies buried in the ancient pyramid of Huaca Las Ventanas, the capital of the Sicilian people living in northern Peru around 900 -1100. After digging about 15 meters further, archaeologists discovered more corpses.

There are more than 100 corpses buried naked here. Most are the bodies of adult men, in addition to the bodies of two children and an adult woman. Some bodies were still without heads and at least 20 people had their heads cut off in this pit.

When studying in the laboratory, Klaus said that the bodies were cut off while still in their unbroken state, so the images of the cuts were very sharp.

According to archaeologist Haagen Klaus of the Utah Valley University, the Sicán are not aggressive people. Sicán had a developed commercial economy, formed a strong empire, reached its peak in 1000, with a vast range of thousands of miles from Ecuador and Peru.

Klaus speculates that the dead in this hole could be from a local community participating in the ritual of death in order to have a new life in the world. Sicán is holy land, and religious ceremonies related to ancestor worship appear there.

Unlike other burial sites of Sicán people, at this tomb, the bodies are arranged in various positions, people are stretched straight, people are folded their arms and legs, and others can folded, laid face down.

In addition, archaeologists also found in the tomb many corpses of monkeys, turtles, bears . and some other items. Previously, researchers also discovered graves near the pyramid, burying many precious metals.
