Tomb Reveals 38 Bodies

Archaeologists uncovered a nearly intact, 600-year-old Chimú burial complex containing 38 bodies at Chan Chan, near Trujillo, Peru. One person was buried fully extended, unlike typical Chimú burials, prompting researchers to consider whether the individual was sacrificed or held unusually high status; some remains also bore red pigment associated with high-ranking burials. Officials are documenting the fragile remains and artifacts, including through photographs and a 3D model, before removing them for study.
