A Tomb as Rich as Tutankhamun's

The Lord of Sipán was found intact near Chiclayo in 1987 — a Moche ruler buried around AD 250 with gold, turquoise and eight attendants. It is often described as the richest unlooted tomb ever found in the Americas.

The clock: Chiclayo keeps UTC−5. Peru has not observed daylight saving since a brief and unsuccessful trial in 1994.

Chiclayo lies at 79.8°W. Its time zone, UTC−5, is built around the 75°W meridian. The 4.8° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 19 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:19 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC−5 all year — there is no daylight saving here.

The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 12h 31m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 11h 44m. The swing between them is 47 minutes. Within a few degrees of the equator the length of the day barely moves all year.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Chiclayo the sun comes up earliest on 12 November at 05:52, while the latest sunset waits until 2 February at 18:45. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.

The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Chiclayo that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.

Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
