In Peru, a mummy of six children dating back to 1400 years old was discovered. The mummies were discovered on Sunday (February 13th) in the Kazamarquila district of northeastern Peru, 16 kilometers from Lima’s city. Deutsche Welle News
Archaeologists are still trying to gather enough evidence before making a conclusive determination about the house’s location. The child’s mummy, wrapped in a sack, was later discovered inside the house. Near the remains, several pottery and metal vessels were discovered. Last year, researchers discovered the mummy of that person in a similar location. They claimed that each mummy was bound with a rope separately.
The bodies were folded a lot during the time, and the hands were kept near to the lips. According to historians, special people’s or their family members’ bodies were kept in this manner as was customary at the time.
According to Peter Van Dalin, a Peruvian archaeologist, the mummies discovered in November were preserved in a similar manner. I discovered 13 mummies tied with rope that had been retrieved from here. Perhaps they used to keep it in a unique way, as was customary. However, study is currently underway to determine the best course of action.
