A grave of the Sican pre-Inca culture, dating back 1,200 years, was discovered by a group of archaeologists in the region of Lambayeque, north of Peru. Human remains and jewelry were found July 4 along with the tomb, likely that of a member of the aristocracy of the Sican or Lambayeque elite.

“...a silver-plated crown...”

THAT is interesting! How did they do it?

One startling discovery in ancient Sumer’s ruins was the existance of batteries. Crude batteries using wine vinegar as the acid, but real.

This battery-pwered electricity was used by Sumerian craftsmen to plate precious metal on copper.

Not a lot of details in the article on how plating was done by the Sican’s, but it is courious nonetheless.

“.....a silver-plated crown...”

Horsefeathers! Electroplating was impossible until electricity had been harnessed, and that was NOT 1200 years ago.
