"Discovery of Ancient Priest's Tomb Unveiled in Northern Peru"

Archaeologists in northern Peru have discovered a 3,000-year-old tomb believed to honor an elite religious leader. Named the "Priest of Pacopampa," the tomb was covered with layers of ash and decorated with ceramic bowls. Seals found on the tomb indicated the use of ancient ritual body paint for nobility. The tomb contained a bone shaped into a tupu, typically used by women, suggesting a unique association. The discovery is part of the ongoing Pacopampa Archaeological Project, with the tomb estimated to be five centuries older than previous finds in the area.
