A centuries-old mummy of a 12 or 13-year-old child has been unearthed Peru, archeologists announced Monday. The child, whose gender is unknown, would have lived about 800 years ago and could have belonged to the Lima or Ichma civilizations, archeologists disclosed. A worker holds parts of the funerary bundle of a mummy found by Peruvian archaeologists in the ruins of Cajarmarquilla, in the outskirts of Lima, Peru. In 2022, archaeologists at the Cajamarquilla site found six mummified children. In this stage of the Cajamarquilla dig, which started in December 2022 and will run through December of this year, archeologists have excavated three units, according to the dig team.
