Archaeologists in Peru have discovered an almost intact 600-year-old funerary platform belonging to the pre-Incan Chimu kingdom. The find offers new insight into the burial practices and society of the Chimu civilization, which predated the Inca empire on Peru's northern coast. Researchers say the tomb's preservation could provide valuable archaeological data about Chimu culture and its rulers, adding to the historical record of pre-Columbian South America.
