Pana Marca is an absolutely remarkable site, and the discovery is quite extraordinary because
00:21
it really does confirm that in this later Moche period, that this particular powerful
00:26
female figure that has been variably dubbed as a queen, or a goddess, or a priestess,
00:32
la sacerdotista in Spanish, rose to preeminence in this particular era.
00:37
You see this not only at Pana Marca, but at other sites in the northern part of the Moche
00:42
world.
00:54
It's very clear that in the late Moche period, I mean, the main elite tombs that we really
00:59
find are that of women, and those depicted in the iconography are female figures.
01:05
And in fact, we even see sort of a transition, especially in the northern valleys where I
01:10
work, where the sacrificial victims seem to be a shift in emphasis from male to female.
01:17
And that actually is a demonstration of the high status of women, because sacrifice was
01:23
the ultimate offering.
