Elite Ancient Woman Buried with Toucan Beak?!

Archaeologists just found a 5,000-year-old burial in Peru of a high-status woman wrapped in cotton and plant fibers—with a toucan’s beak inlaid with beads, macaw feathers, and even sweet potatoes! Her skin, hair, and nails are still intact (wild, right?). She lived during the Caral civilization, which was basically the OG city builders of the Americas. The coolest part? This isn’t the first elite woman found here—ancient Peru had some serious girl power! #Archaeology #AncientHistory #Peru #GirlPower #HistoryNerd #Science
