Archaeologists in Peru have uncovered a 600-year-old burial complex holding 38 bodies — including one skeleton whose unusual position has raised questions about the possibility of human sacrifice.
The graves were discovered at Chan Chan, an ancient pre-Incan city near Trujillo, Peru, roughly 350 miles north of Lima.
Peru's Ministry of Culture announced the discovery earlier this fall, saying the nearly intact Chimú burial site had remained hidden for over six centuries.
Images shared with Fox News Digital by officials at the Ministry of Culture show an assortment of ancient ceramic vessels, including decorated jugs and pottery with sculpted figures.
Other photos offer an overhead view of the burial complex, revealing its network of chambers, walls and stairways.

I have always wondered, how old does a gravesite need to be before it is ok to plunder it? At what point is it no longer “sacred” for the dead buried there.
Less than a century before the conquest of the Incas by Spanish conquistadors.
38 bodies? That seems kind of paltry compared to Hillary Rotten Clinton’s body count.
