The Afterlife: Lord of Sipa

It is quite interesting that two civilizations, the Egyptian and the Moche, both have similar burial rituals. The fact that societal rulers were buried with extravagance from their possessions, showed that the people that worshipped their rulers believed in an afterlife. What I find intriguing, is that specifically, the Lord of Sipan, despite being on the other side of the world in Peru, he was buried very similarly to the pharaohs of Egypt. It just goes to show that even on opposite sides of the world, there can be similarities found in very different cultures.
