The remains were found in Sipán located in Zaña's district. The discovery of the royal tombs of the Lord of Sipan marked an important milestone in the archaeology of the American continent because for the first time, it was situated intact and without fingerprints of plunders, a royal burial of a Peruvian civilization previous to the Incas.
Due to its high hierarchy and its semidivine power, this leader was buried together with seven sacrificed people. Apparently, for the gowns and opposing skeletons, this fact means that there was the Lord´s wife and two women possibly concubines, a military chief, a watchman, a standard-bearer and a child. Among the opposing animals there was a dog and two white llamas.Inside the tomb of the Lord of Sipán, different objects of goldwork, golden laminated pieces, earflaps, narigueras were found. Besides there were ceramic Mochicas.
