Cajamarca, Peru Reuters —Archaeologists in northern Peru have unearthed a 3,000-year-old tomb which they believe might have honored an elite religious leader in the Andean country some three millennia ago. Two seals were also found along the upper edges of the tomb, one with an anthropomorphic face looking east and another with a jaguar design facing west. Archaeologists hold pieces of pottery from the tomb, which also contained decorated ceramic bowls and seals indicating ancient ritual body paint used for people of elite standing. “Though this person is a man, the associations are very peculiar,” said Seki. Last year’s find of the “Priest of the Pututos,” however, is believed to be older.
