A team of archaeogists led by Dr. Sonia Guillen excavates the first unlooted burial site ever found belonging to the Chiribaya, a Peruvian people who thrived from 950-1350AD, just before the rise of the Inca. The team hopes to unearth up to three tombs a day and a total of 60-70 over the course of digging season. The mummies of the Chiribaya are every bit a spectacular as the ones Johann Reinhardt regularly uncover from the high Andes, and they have never before been filmed for television. The excavators expect to find gold jewelry and artifacts, fine textiles with patterns worthy of Picasso, and the mummies of dogs and llamas. The Chiribaya bred a kind of llama that produced wool of finer quality than any found in South America today. In addition, scientists will try to determine why this breed of llama no longer exists.
