The Lord of Sipán (El Señor de Sipán) is the name given to the first of several mummies of the Moche culture, found at Huaca Rajada, an archaeological site roughly 30km outside of Chiclayo.
Some archaeologists consider this find to be one of the most important archaeological discoveries in South America in the last 30 years, as the main tomb was found intact and untouched.
Huacas like the Huaca Rajada are pyramid-like monuments built by the Moche culture as well as the ancient Sicán and Lambayeque culture near Chiclayo.
The extraordinary artifacts found in the excavations are conserved and displayed in two museums: the Museo de Sitio Huaca Rajada and the Royal Tombs of Sipán Museum.
