Archaeologists in Peru have uncovered an almost intact funerary platform belonging to the pre-Incan Chimu kingdom, with the tomb estimated to be around 600 years old, according to Al Jazeera. The discovery sheds light on the Chimu civilisation, which flourished along Peru's northern coast before being absorbed into the Inca Empire. The remarkably preserved state of the burial site is expected to offer researchers valuable insights into the funerary practices and culture of the ancient kingdom.
