Exciting new discoveries at Pa?amarca! ? In its most recent season, the Archaeological Landscapes of Pa?amarca research project unearthed a never-before-seen throne room for a powerful woman leader of the Moche culture. Vivid murals of weaving workshops, ceremonial processions and a woman seated on a throne have been uncovered, shedding new light on ancient gender roles in Peru. Scholars are debating whether she was a queen or a goddess, but the evidence points to a real woman who ruled in the 7th century. #panamarca
