Peru - Priestess鈥 tomb found
Print Edition
The discovery in Peru of another tomb belonging to a pre-Hispanic priestess, the eighth in over two decades, confirms that powerful women ruled the region 1,200 years ago, archeologists said.
The remains of the woman from the Moche — or Mochica — civilization were discovered in late July in an area called La Libertad in the country’s northern Chepan Province. It is one of several finds in this region that have amazed scientists.
In 2006, researchers came across the “Lady of Cao,” who died about 1,700 years ago and is seen as one of the first female rulers in Peru. “This find makes it clear that women ... governed here,” project director Luis Jaime Castillo said.
