A room full of 800-year-old black wooden statues that stand more than two foot tall (27.5 inches/70 cm) has been found in Peru.

The archaeological gem has been found in the ruins of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Chan Chan. 

Some of the figurines are wearing clay masks and all the figurines are tucked into an individual alcove. 

The eerie figures line a passageway through to a ceremonial courtyard in the Utzh An complex.
