News: Peruvian Site Reveals Throne Room of Female Moche Leader

 

From the article:
"The team uncovered a decorated adobe throne and several murals showing a woman wearing a crown and sitting on a throne. They identified the space as a 1,300-year-old throne room 'of a powerful Moche woman associated with the moon goddess.' Photos show the ancient throne adorned with 'images related to the sea and the night sky, including a crowned woman with a rattle rendered as the crescent moon,' archaeologists said. The throne’s sides showed 'figures of women spinning fiber.'
