A thousand-year old mummy has been discovered in Peru decorated with scarlet paint, metal eye-plates that denote high status, and tatoos.

"As anthropologists gingerly removed the layers of ancient textiles swaddling the thirtysomething elite male last month at a Lima lab, offerings both strange and familiar came to light—slingshots, corn, a figurine in identical dress."

The mummy gives astoishing insights into the little-studied Chancay civilisation between A.D. 1000 and 1500, before finally falling to the unstoppable Inca Empire.

  • The more we learn about how the Ancients lived & died, the longer we'll be around. Archeology proves that we continue to live very similiar lives to those who came before us. We just go about our daily routine in different ways.

  • Clearly there are thousands and thousands of years of history still undiscovered. Archaeology has never been more important than it is today. This is really interesting stuff.

    Why, the Sphinx may be 15000 years old according to some studies.... Why that's before the world was created! :-)
