This was reported by the British agency Reuters. "Archaeologists on the coast of Peru have discovered the 5,000-year-old remains of a woman who may have belonged to the upper echelons of the ancient Caral civilization," the report said. According to the agency, the city of the same name, located approximately 180 km from the Peruvian capital of Lima, is considered the oldest in South America and was inhabited at the same time as the ancient Egyptian, Chinese and Sumerian civilizations. Archaeologists told reporters that the body of the woman, who died between the ages of 20 and 35, was found in a robe of blue and brown feathers, believed to belong to Amazonian macaws. The tomb was surrounded by offering baskets, vases, pumpkins and a toucan's beak, the researchers said. As reported by the Regnum news agency, archaeologists previously discovered a Dene (Athabascan) cache dating back about 1,000 years during summer excavations at the Elmendorf-Richardson military base in Alaska. The Eklutna elders, with whom the researchers consulted, said that there had once been a fishing camp at the site where the cache was found. In November 2024, in Mexico, scientists from the local National Institute of Anthropology and History discovered an underground portal to the afterlife that was used by ancient Mesoamerican civilizations. |
