Royal Tombs Museum, the Lord of Sipan awaits

Imagine being able to view the tomb of one of the most powerful men in ancient Peru. The undisturbed remains of the Lord of Sipan were unearthed at Huaca Rajada, in Lambayeque, in the greatest archaeological discovery in Peruvian history.

Extraordinary adornments made from gold, silver and turquoise, including breastplates and ear adornments, the most beautiful pottery and other fine objects, were excavated from the antechamber of the main discovery: items intended for a royal existence in the afterlife.

This historic treasure, along with many other objects, is preserved in the Royal Tombs of Sipan Museum, a world class museum.
