Sipan (03 November 2005)

The archaeological site of Sipan was worth a visit. It was only discovered as recently as 1987, and was found to contain a remarkable number of high quality artifacts. The site is still a work in progress and contains representations of the tomb contents. The actual items are housed at a museum in Lambayeque (nearby).

And here we are viewing another tomb.

The pyramids of Sipan, were constructed entirely from mud bricks.


They have understandably detieorated over time due to wind and rain. Can you spot Lorena?

A day well spent together.
