Wednesday, September 9, 2026 - Archaeologists in Peru have uncovered an almost intact Chimu funerary platform containing the remains of at least 38 people.
Its main chamber had remained sealed for nearly 600 years, offering researchers a rare opportunity to examine evidence from the pre-Incan civilization in its original context.
The discovery is significant because the burial site remained largely undisturbed, allowing archaeologists to study the human remains and objects associated with the burials.
Researchers are examining the site to learn more about Chimu burial practices, social organisation and the cultural traditions surrounding death.
The find provides fresh evidence about the Chimu civilisation and adds to the growing archaeological record of northern Peru.
Further examination of the remains and artefacts could reveal more about the people buried at the site and offer new insights into a society that flourished before the expansion of the Inca Empire.
