Panamanian archaeologists from the El Caño Foundation (FEC) have found the 1,200-year-old tomb of an unknown leader who ruled pre-Hispanic South and Central America. There were many various treasures in the burial area. This situation was officially reported Web site El Caño Foundation (FEC).
Scientists discovered a tomb in the Cocle State Archaeological Park in central Panama. The body belonged to a man named Lord Cocle, who lived in the late 700s AD and left this world at the age of about 30.
According to archaeologists, gold coins, five decorative breastplates, two belts made of round gold beads, four bracelets and a pair of earrings with the image of a man and a woman were found in the ruler’s tomb. Also discovered were an earring in the shape of two crocodiles, earrings made from gilded sperm whale teeth, round gold plates, a number of bone flutes, bracelets and skirts made of dog teeth, as well as pottery and other artifacts.
Scientists believe that the leader’s tomb may contain the remains of his retinue, since at that time noble people were often buried along with “companions” who were supposed to accompany the key figure on his journey through the afterlife.
