Ancient throne room of powerful Moche woman discovered in Peru

Archaeologists in Peru have uncovered the first known painted throne room of a powerful Moche woman at the site of Pañamarca, dating back to the 7th century.

This “Hall of the Moche Imaginary” features intricate paintings depicting a Moche hero and numerous images of a powerful woman, suggesting she held significant authority in the society.

Notable finds include greenstone beads and human hair on the throne, indicating it was used.

The second hall, called the “Hall of the Braided Serpents,” served as a vantage point for observing public gatherings.

These discoveries challenge previous narratives that minimized the role of women in Moche society, highlighting their social and political power, the Art Newspaper has reported.
