New photos of the Sipan tomb

I posted a story earlier about a very ancient tomb of an early Sipan
dynast uncovered in August. At EnPeru, new and very good photos of the
tomb have been posted shown with the striking owl ceramics found in
the tomb.

Oldest Sipan Ancestor Uncovered
The tomb of a Mochica noble or warrior has been uncovered in the Huaca
Rajada in Lambayeque. The remains would be the oldest ancestor of the
Sipan dynasty discovered so far. The Lord of Sipan was found here in
1987 and this new grave dates to the beginning of the Sipan dynasty.
It now appears that the dynasty stretches much further back than was
believed.
