A Mayan Funerary Chamber was discovered last week in the archeological site of Waka-Peru located in the Laguna del Tigre National Park. This chamber was discovered while archeologist working on the site were doing investigate work. An investigator working on site describes the site as a chamber 1.50 meter deep and 1.50 meters wide. In it, 14 urns with glyphs, miniature urns, shell artifacts, jade and different works made on bone were found. Also a bench with human skeletons laying on it. The ceramic found on the place, goes back to the transitional period between the Early Classic and Late Classic periods of the Maya (between 550 and 700 AD). It is also believed that there is a Royal Tomb nearby. Waka-Peru is located 90 kilometers from Flores Island. A Mayan Royal Tomb was found in this place at the beginning of May. This tomb dates back to the Early Classic Period.
