Denver archaeologist helps discover ancient Peruvian throne room

Peruvian conservators recently uncovered a Moche throne room at the Pañamarca archaeological site, believed to have been used by a female ruler.

This discovery, led by Dr. Michele Koons from the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, is one of only three known thrones in Peru suggesting a queen’s rule.

The throne shows signs of use, with human hair embedded in it.

The murals and artifacts at the site depict a female figure in power, offering insights into Moche society.

The team, including Koons, Columbia’s Lisa Trever, and director Jessica Ortiz Zevallos, is uncovering how power and roles were distributed in this ancient culture, NBC 9 News has reported.

The delicate site is re-buried after each dig season to protect its findings.
