In Peru, archaeologists have unearthed a thousand-year-old mummy
According to the head of the group of archaeologists Mirella Ganoza , the mummy was found in the south of Lima on the territory of Huaca Puklana in the rich residential area of Miraflores.
“This is an adult in a sitting position with bent legs,” the archaeologist clarified and added that the mummy has long hair, and her jaw is almost completely preserved. The remains were found along with ceramic vessels, textiles and other items.
As Ganoza explained, the man whose remains were found by archaeologists, in all likelihood, lived a thousand years ago, at the dawn of the Ichsma culture, which arose on the central coast of modern Peru around 1100 AD. e., before the arrival of the Incas in this area. Considering that this is not the first such discovery on the territory of Huaca Puklana, experts suggest that much more valuable artifacts can be found in this place.
Earlier, IA Regnum reported that the tomb of the ancient Inca era was discovered under a residential building in the center of the capital of Peru, Lima. According to experts, the nobility rests in the tomb, since the remains are wrapped in cloth, and ceramic products and various decorations are placed next to them.
