A newly announced discovery at Panama's El Caño site has revealed a 1,000-year-old tomb filled with gold artifacts, including chest plates and bracelets.

The tomb contained several gold and metal artifacts, including chest plates, ear ornaments and bracelets, as well as "finely crafted ceramics." The tomb is called Tomb 3.
Though archaeologists first identified Tomb 3 in 2009, they didn't realize the complexity of the structure — or the extent of its funerary offerings — until now.
