"Panama's Ancient Gold Tomb: Treasures and Sacrificial Victims Unearthed"

Archaeologists in Panama have discovered an ancient lord's tomb at El Caño Archaeological Park, estimated to be about 1,200 years old, filled with gold treasures and sacrificial victims. The tomb, believed to belong to a high-status chief from the local Coclé culture, contained an array of gold artifacts and possibly dozens of sacrificial victims buried to accompany him to the afterlife. The excavation at the site is ongoing, and the discoveries are said to hold both economic and incalculable historical and cultural value.
