It was announced today that a group of pyramids belonging to the Vic�s Culture were found by workers doing clean-up work in Piura. Archaeologists from Peru's Institute for Culture (INC) were immediately informed and confirmed the pyramids were a religious area or a cemetery for Vic�s Culture elite.
The archaeological complex consists of six pyramids - two large pyramids and four smaller ones. It was reported that a high concentration of vestiges have been found in one of the larger pyramids as well as bone fragments and a human skull.
It is believed an important member of the Vic�s Culture is buried 25 meters (82 feet) underground. A platform, where it is believed ceremonies took place, has been found next to one of the larger pyramids.
