Archaeologists have unveiled an extraordinary discovery in Peru’s Amazonas region, where two rare ceremonial club heads and over 200 pre-Hispanic structures belonging to the ancient Chachapoyas culture have been unearthed. The findings, made by researchers from the Kuelap Archaeology and Anthropology Research Institute (INAAK), represent one of the most significant discoveries related to the mysterious “Warriors of the Clouds” in recent years. This remarkable find not only expands our understanding of Chachapoyas territorial extent but also reveals unique ceremonial practices that may have been previously undocumented in the archaeological record.
