Peruvian Treasure

In Peru, an ancient, golden headdress was found, along with about 100 more artifacts. Its name is El Tocado meaning "the headdress" in Spanish. This headdress is possibly one of Peru's greatest finds. This find of El Tocado can lead to the history and background of Peru along with more archeological finds. The Peruvian government is now tearing down forests ad destroying the homes of plants and animals for more of these finds. The government said it will do anything for more of these archeological finds.

Cuba's Instruments

I'm surprised that one of the places in the world known for music is running low on instruments. Before Cuba's revolution in 1959 many people played violins, cellos, violas, and basses from the workshops of Europe. After the revolution Cuba wasn't able to trade with anyone but the Soviet Union and China (geography). The wood they use are not as high of quality as the rosewood from Europe. So, to make things easier on the country a shop as been opened up in Cuba to make wooden instruments for the country of Cuba. The shop measures (math) and repairs the pegs and strings. The shop has now been opened about three years and has repaired about 400 wooden instruments. The workers of the shop plan to stay opened and hope it can stay open just through donations given.
