 Archaeologists in Peru have made a groundbreaking discovery, uncovering a 1,300-year-old throne room adorned with murals depicting a powerful Moche queen. The throne room, found at the Pañamarca archaeological site, dates back to the seventh century AD and is believed to belong to a female ruler from the Moche culture. While the queen's skeletal remains have yet to be found, researchers are excited about the potential for DNA testing on human hair discovered in the throne room.
