Ancient Queen Found in a Trash Heap?!

Archaeologists just found a 5,000-year-old noblewoman buried in what used to be a garbage dump in Caral, Peru—talk about a plot twist! She was wrapped in fancy fabrics, feather art, and surrounded by wild grave goods like sweet potatoes and a toucan beak. The preservation is so good, they still have her hair and nails. This find is shaking up what we know about women’s roles in ancient societies. Imagine being a queen and ending up in the trash! #Archaeology #AncientHistory #Caral #WomenInHistory #HistoryNerd #Science
