Archaeologists Discover 3,000-Year-Old Priest’s Tomb in Peru

Archaeologists in northern Peru have unearthed a 3,000-year-old tomb which they believe might have honored an elite religious leader in the Andean country some three millennia ago.

Dubbed the “Priest of Pacopampa,” referring to the highland archaeological zone where the tomb was found, the priest was buried under six layers of ash mixed with black earth, with decorated ceramic bowls and seals indicating ancient ritual body paint used for people of elite standing, Peru’s culture ministry said in a statement on Saturday.

Two seals were also found along the upper edges of the tomb, one with an anthropomorphic face looking east and another with a jaguar design facing west.

Project leader Yuji Seki said the large size of the tomb, nearly two meters (2.2 yards) in diameter and one meter (3.3 feet) deep, was “very peculiar,” as was the position of the body lying face down with one half of his body extended and feet crossed.

The body was also found with a bone shaped into a tupu, a large pin used by Andean Amerindians to hold cloaks and ponchos, which would have been used to hold a woman’s blanket, he added.

“Though this person is a man, the associations are very peculiar,” said Seki. “I think this was a leader in his time.”

The Pacopampa Archaeological Project has been working in the area since 2005, the ministry said, adding that rock layers indicate the priest, who would have been buried around 1,200 B.C., was some five centuries older than the tombs of the “Lady of Pacopampa” and the “Priests of the Serpent Jaguar of Pacopampa,” discovered in 2009 and 2015 respectively.

Last year’s find of the “Priest of the Pututos,” however, is believed to be older.

Finally some good fucking news

“Which spices go with which foods” lists are of limited value to me because, like, I have functioning taste buds. What I really need is a “spices that need to be added at the start of the cooking time in order to properly develop versus spices that need to be added in the last five minutes because extended heating fucks up the flavour profile” list – that shit is not intuitive.

Concept (That I Will Write Someday): Shmi Skywalker is the Chosen One. But she works out her destiny not for the sake of the Republic but because DARN IT ALL there's going to be a war and this is not why she sent her son away with the Jedi! Cue Shmi and the Lars fam wreaking havoc on all of Palpatine's plans while they go after Anakin, following the guidance of Ar-Amu, an eldritch Force being who took a liking for both Tatooine and Shmi and who has no concept of a normal sentient interaction.

Featuring:

Ar-Amu terrifying everyone except Shmi and the Lars, who are used to her

A clone revolution on Kamino, led by Shmi

The subsequent kidnapping/adoption of Obi-Wan and Jango from Kamino

Anakin definitely having dreams about his amu but he has NO IDEA WHAT THE KRIFF THEY'RE ABOUT

Padme and Anakin causing problems for everyone by running off, getting married, and joining Hondo's pirate crew by accident

Shmi marching up to the Jedi Temple wanting to see her son

The Council, knowing that neither Anakin nor Obi-Wan are in the Temple, desperately paging every Jedi close to Anakin to go Deal With This

However, every Jedi close to Anakin is also the exact kind of Jedi who would immediately join Shmi's revolution

The Temple steps are getting kind of crowded

The Clone Wars are kind of over but no one knows what to do

Ar-Amu giving Dark Siders unintentional heart attacks (my sister's idea)

Palpatine having a bad day that lasts many months

Dooku being confused

Ventress getting adopted by more clone troopers

Everybody Lives/Nobody Dies (Except Probably Palpatine)

Shmi just wants to See Her Boy

Owen, Beru, and Cliegg have never met Anakin but darn it all if they're not ride or die for their step-family member anyway

not sure if this will make sense to anyone besides me but: the antidote to negativity is not positivity, its warmth

love and appreciate what Impulse was saying to chat before he ended stream, but there is something absolutely hilarious about him thanking chat and getting emotional in the foreground while Joe and Pearl are hitting eachother with the clumsycooking stuff in the background-

as a child being told "the moon controls the tides" with no additional explanation was like. oh okay. you want me to believe in magic? you're talking about magic right now? okay. fine
