The condor, snake, and puma are really important in Peruvian history and represent the stages of Inca's life; the underworld, the earth, and the heavens. Read this post!

South America 135 years ago today: End of the War of the Pacific (05 Nov 1883) https://buff.ly/2P9eWOJ By 1883, Chile was the clear victor in the War of the Pacific, occupying all the important Peruvian and Bolivian ports and successfully invading the Peruvian Sierra. Peru accepted defeat in October, ceding Tarapacá to Chile; although the Chilean occupation of Tacna and Arica would remain a source of contention until 1929. Bolivia - which had lost its entire Pacific coastline - would only agree to a truce at first, refusing to sign a formal peace treaty until 1904. #southamerica #history #welovemaps #map #1880s #1883 #bolivianhistory #latinamericanhistory #november #november5 #peru #chileanhistory #southamericanhistory #peruvianhistory #nineteenthcentury #maps #victorianera #andes #warofthepacific #atacama #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historygeek #historynerd #historybuff #bolivia #peruhistory #chilehistory #antofagastachile (at Lima, Peru) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpyvDYggNjC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y48vwjrsaeai

ARCHAEOLOGY: Discovering The World’s Secrets - The Americas. The Lord of Sipan. South America’s cultural patrimony has been plundered for hundreds of years. Peruvian archaeologist #walteralva saved the spectacular tomb of the #lordofsipán from a similar fate. In 1987, the director of the National Archaeological Museum received a call in the middle of the night. Tomb-robbers had found the grave of a high-ranking #mohican warrior-priest and taken precious gold and silver treasures. Within hours, it would be headed for the black market — out of the country. When he first arrived on the scene, the impoverished local community had descended upon the Husca Rajada, consisting of two adobe pyramids and a low platform, in the hope of finding valuable leftovers. With the help of the police, gov’t funds and Nat’l Geographic, Alva and his team were able to persuade them to stop the looting. There, they uncovered the elaborate tomb of the Lord of Sipan, a #mohican lord, and six other people. A total of 451 ceremonial items were discovered at the site. Evacuations continued, and two more tombs were found. #ancientcivilizations #peruvianhistory #southamericanhistory #peru🇵🇪 #worldhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CNs0IaOLjNd/?igshid=2v0jbzit9qme
