In 2013, archaeologists in Peru found the first unlooted royal tomb of the Wari, early empire-builders who predate the Inca. The 1,200-year-old site held three mummified Wari queens and more than 1,000 artifacts, including ritual axes, utensils, and gold and silver jewelry. (Photo: Enrique Castro-Mendivil)
