Monday 25/6 - CHICLAYO II
- the archeological site of Sipán (Huaca Rayada)
- the Bruning museum
- the Shaman market
The treasures found in the Mochica burial tumulus of Sipán are those presented in the world-class museum 'Museo Tumbas Reales de Sipán ", visited yesterday.
The archeological site of Sipán is located 35km south of Chiclayo, whereas the corresponding museum is located in Lambayeque, some 10km north Chiclayo. Strange!
As the musuem closes on Monday I had to do these visits in an odd order...
The king of Sipán was buried in a piramide. Over time, the mud bricks build piramides deteriorated into hills, not the obvious to recognize in the desert landscape.

The driver prefers the (abandoned) railway bridge.
The tumulus.
Owl living in the ruins.
In some places one can distinguish the original mud bricks
(those in the center are from the excavation period).
The disappointing on-site museum. The two museums of Lambayeque
(that of yesterday and 'Bruning') are much more interesting.
Souvenir stalls selling phantasmatic items.
I didn't see similar objects in the museums!
In front of the Bruning Museum (Lambayeque).
Some of the potery.
An original design for trafic lights.
The Shaman market of Chiclayo.
