Archeologists find ancient Peruvian fresco, lost for a century


Lambayeque (Peru) (AFP) – Archeologists have rediscovered a pre-Hispanic fresco depicting mythological scenes in northern Peru that they had only seen in black and white photographs that were more than a century old. The mural’s existence became known in 1916, through black and white photographs taken by German ethnologist Hans Heinrich Brüning.
