| In 1987 and 1990 in Sipán, Peru, archaeologists discovered the tombs of royal lords of the ancient Moche culture. Buried in deep shafts beneath adobe pyramids, the lords were surrounded by goods indicating their wealth and status, including ceramics, masks, headdresses, and jewelry of gold and turquoise. The Moche civilization occupied the northern coastal region of Peru from about ad 100 to 800. | ||||||
