New discoveries in Sipan reveal more about its age

The new discoveries in the archaeological site of Huaca Rajada, Sipan, in northern Peru, add to the hypothesis that this cultural center dates back to the Middle Moche era, between the years 50 and 350 AD. This fact is currently been determined by the testing of archaeological objects found in the area, which most are from the Middle Moche era.

The Moche Culture, particularly the archaeological area of Sipan, became famous when the tomb of the Lord of Sipan was discovered intact and undisturbed in 1987. It is considered the most important tomb ever-uncovered in the western hemisphere. The Royal Tombs of Sipan Museum displays most of the archaeological discoveries of the Moche Culture, including a replica of the tomb of the Lord of Sipan showing the jewels, ornaments, and other objects, found in the actual site.
