Jeff K. Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Not that it changes anything for most people. I recall one of the many old arguments (mostly long since abandoned but sometimes still brought up) regarding breastplates and how they had no place in ancient America.The funerary items found with the Lord of Wari consist of a mask and silver breastplate, two golden bracelets, four silver head feathers, 15 representations of faces in beaten silver, two palm wood scepters adorned with silver, three necklaces of semi-precious stones and 200 silver sequins.Interesting stuff.Archaeological find puts Peru's history in new lightFor some reason it won't let me download the image.
