Peruvian archaeologists have recently discovered the remains of six children and seven adults at the Caja Maquila archaeological excavation area near the capital Lima.
The mummies and remains are about 800 to 1,200 years old and belong to the pre-Inca era.
It is reported that the children's mummies were wrapped in cotton products, and other items such as ceramics and gourds were also found at the site, as well as the skeletal remains of camelids. Archaeologists believe that these children may have been buried as the owner of the tomb.
The discovery of the Caja Maquila archaeological excavation area, 24 kilometers east of Lima, is one of the largest archaeological sites in Peru, bringing the number of mummies and remains found in the area to 14 since November 2021.
