Warriors of the citadel of Chan Chan

Archeologists from the National Institute for Peruvian Culture (INC) have discovered, in the middle of year 2006, 18 wood statues, a little less than a meter tall, which were keeping the entrance to the Sea Palace, one of the ten royal buildings in Chan Chan, the capital of the Chimu civilization, erected between the 9th and the 15th centuries on the northern coast of what is today Peru. The statues are being studied and protected in the site itself, before being transported to an INC laboratory for their final restoration.
