A newly exhumed tomb in central Panama has revealed stores of riches as well as signs of human sacrifice.
As reported by ZME Science, scientists working at the 1,000-year-old burial chamber known at Tomb 3 in El Caño Archaeological Park found stashes of gold as well as remains of a central buried figure surrounded by others who were likely sacrificed. “Besides the remains, the ‘Lord of Tomb 3’ lay swaddled in a fortune of gold, including massive gold pectorals, gold earrings, and intricate gold ornaments depicting crocodile teeth and bat wings,” according to ZME.
