Lima, Peru: Another discovery was made in Peru, the land of antiquities, mummies and amazing stories. It is a mummy tied with ropes and sitting in a very painful position. Researchers from the National University of San Marcos have discovered an archaeological site 25 kilometers from the Peruvian capital, Lima.

Mimi covers her face with both hands and stands firmly. But according to experts, this was not desecration or torture of the dead, but rather a burial ritual that was common in this civilization at the time. By a conservative estimate, it is between 800 and 1200 years old, dating back to pre-Hispanic times, and possibly even pre-civilization.

Experts said it was the body of a 25 to 30-year-old man who lived in the mountains of the region. Experts resumed research and excavation here in October this year, after which several important objects were discovered, but the mummy is the most important find. The experts did not expect to be able to make such an important discovery.

Oysters and other fragments were found outside Mimi's grave, but the beach is 25 km away. Camel-like llama bones have also been found in many tombs, as their meat was enthusiastically eaten in ancient Peru.
