Archaeologists have discovered a tomb from the Ichma culture in Peru.
The tomb was found in the district of San Miguel, in the province of Lima, and dates back to the Late Intermediate Period (1000-1400 AD). The discovery was made during excavations carried out by the Ministry of Culture and the National University of San Marcos.
The tomb is believed to have belonged to a member of the Ichma elite, as it contained a number of valuable artifacts, including ceramics, textiles, and metal objects.
The ceramics found in the tomb are decorated with geometric designs and images of animals, while the textiles are made from alpaca wool and decorated with intricate patterns. The metal objects include a number of copper and silver ornaments, including earrings, nose rings, and bracelets.
The discovery of this tomb is significant because it provides new insights into the culture and society of the Ichma people.
The Ichma was a pre-Columbian civilization that inhabited the central coast of Peru from around 1000 AD until the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century. They were known for their advanced irrigation systems and their skill in ceramics and textiles.
