Watch: Archeologists Discover Ancient Tomb in Peru The recent excavation of an ancient tomb in northern Peru has left archaeologists stunned, but it's not just the 600 year old relics that are worthy of attention – it's also the story of looting and destruction that these finds reveal.
The burial site near Chan Chan contained the remains of at least 38 people, alongside metal weapons and other artifacts belonging to the pre Incan Chimu civilization.
The discovery is remarkable given the history of colonial era looting and destruction in the region.
