TREASURES

OF THE WARI

EDITORS OF NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC

Between a.d. 700 and 1000, the Wari ruled the

coastal highlands of modern-day Peru. Many of their

royal tombs had been looted over the centuries, but

one intact tomb was found. Holding the body of a

queen, the grave at El Castillo de Huarmey revealed

the rich culture of the Wari people.
