Peru's northern Royal Tombs of Sipan Museum hosted the meeting between world-renowned Egyptologist Zahi Hawass and Peruvian archaeologist Walter Alva.
Hawass has made a number of major discoveries over the course of his career, including the Tombs of the Pyramid Builders at Giza and the Valley of the Golden Mummies at Bahariya Oasis, among others.
Joined by Alva, the also-former Egyptian Minister of Antiquities visited the Peruvian museum's exhibition hall.
At the site, Hawass was amazed by the discovery and conservation of grave goods of
Lord of Sipan, a Mochica culture monarch that ruled 1,700 years ago.
Likewise, he was able to appreciate the former governor's jewelry, emblems, as well as gold, silver and copper ornaments.
The gathering took place within the framework of the 30th anniversary of the discovery of Lord of Sipan's tomb.
As is known, the ruler's grave was discovered by Peruvian archaeologists Walter Alva and Luis Chero Zurita in 1987.
The Royal Tombs of Sipan Museum's construction was inspired by Mochica culture's old pyramids. This site hosts over 2,000 gold pieces.
