I've just revised the old entry for the Paracas museum to indicate the location in the village.

David, when you go to Amasya there are also a group of 5 rock cut tombs to look at which are some of the most impressive remains from the Kingdom of Pontos. Amaseia was the capital of the dynasty of the Mithridatids from about 281-180BC
Last time I looked at Google Earth this area was a too low resolution to pin any sites positions, much better now.
[Edit] I've now done the sitepage for Amasya Museum, with a photo of the statuette of Tesup too.

Amasya hadn't been on my to-do list, it's famous for its Ottoman architecture, which I'm not very interested in. I'll probably pass through one day and check it out - nice little statuette of the Hittite storm god, Teshub.

Paracas History Museum
The Paracas History Museum, founded by Juan Navarro, is the only archaeological and human history museum in the immediate area. There was once a Julio Tello Museum in the Paracas Marine Reserve, but it was destroyed by an earthquake 4 years ago. This museum has the finest collection of Paracas, Nazca, Wari, Chincha and Inca artifacts on the south coast of Peru. Most of what they do is privately funded by donation, though they are hoping for more input from the Paracas Municipality in the future.
Brien Foerster is the assistant director, and actively guides visitors to ancient sites in and around Cusco.
