Archaeologists have discovered an ancient tomb in Peru belonging to the pre-Incan Chimu culture. The burial site was found largely intact.

The discovery concerns a tomb associated with the Chimu, an ancient culture that existed in Peru before the rise of the Inca civilisation. Details about the precise location, the date of the discovery and the contents of the tomb have not been provided.

The largely preserved condition of the burial site means the remains have been recovered with relatively little apparent disturbance, although no further information about the individuals or objects found at the site is available.

The discovery has been presented through footage showing the archaeological find. Further details about the excavation and its significance were not included in the supplied material.
