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.
