Baby mummies come back home

January 14, 2007

Dozens of mummies found in the Peruvian Amazon went on display for the first time in Lima after touring the world. The mummies were discovered in 1996. They include babies, children, adults and even a puma thought to be from the Inca Chachapolla tribe. Two of the mummies are believed to be more than a thousand years old, some have become skeletons and others have been preserved in funerary bundles.
