Tattoed Warrior Princess Found

Posted by Nicholas Gill May 20, 2006

Not long ago I mentioned that Huaca Cao Viejo was opening for visitors. Now they hve anounced the discovery of the tomb of a tattoed female that is unlike anything they have ever seen. This woman warrior was bured usinng elements of both male and female Moche burials, something that has never been found. There were many precious stones near her and elaborate textiles wrapped around her. The Lord of Sian, considered one of the greatest archeological finds of the past century, was found not far from here. So, this could raly be big. The June issue of National Geographic wil cover the find, so be sure to check it out.
