El Señor de Sipán
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
El Señor de Sipán (The Lord of Sipán) is a mummy found in Sipán by Peruvian archaeologist Walter Alva in the 1990s. The tomb is in Sipán's Huaca Rajada, an area in Chiclayo.
The Señor de Sipán tomb is a Moche site in Peru. Some archaeologists hold it to be one of the most important archaeological discoveries in this region of the world in the last 30 years, because the main tomb was found intact and untouched by thieves.
