Peruvian archaeologists have discovered a burial site consisting of 20 graves of the Sican aristocracy from pre-Inca times near the northern city of Ferranafe.
In the pyramid-shaped tombs, knives were found for ritual activities, sacrifices and many other items made from silver, brass and gold alloys, armor, masks and pottery.
In the official announcement announced on November 21, President Alan Garcia affirmed that this is one of the most important findings in the country over the years, showing details and fullness of Sican burial technology, helping archaeologists better understand the Sican culture (about 750 AD to the end of the 14th century) and the level of elite in Sican society at that time.
Sican culture (The House of the Moon), with its sophisticated alloy manufacturing technology, reached its peak between 900 and 1100 AD.
