"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 black earth and decorated with ceramic bowls. Two seals found on the tomb indicated the use of ancient ritual body paint for nobility. The tomb also contained a bone shaped into a tupu, typically used by women, suggesting the individual buried was a leader. This discovery is estimated to be five centuries older than previous tombs found in the area.
