According to the archaeologist, the mummy was an adult with a body bent into a sitting position, and his hair was still intact and his mandible was almost intact. According to preliminary estimates, the mummy may have been made 1,000 years ago at the beginning of the Iksma civilization. At the time, the Iksma civilization was undergoing great social changes, which flourished between the 10th and 15th centuries AD and was later absorbed and integrated by the Inca Empire.

Peru is world-famous for the ruins of the hilltop ancient city of the Machu Picchu Inca Empire. Before Spanish colonization, Peru was home to several indigenous Latin American cultures that flourished in the centuries leading up to the rise of the Inca Empire, mainly on Peru's central coast and in the Andes.

Once a pyramid-shaped altar that has unearthed mummies and ancient offerings, the site of Pukeana is one of Lima's main tourist attractions. Some experts have even likened the site to "Pandora's box," suggesting that there may be more artifacts and secrets waiting to be unearthed.

"I find it quite interesting that the Pukeana Ceremonial Center, located in the heart of the Miraflores district, surrounded by modern high-rises, still preserves such an important historical site," said Canosa enthus. ”

As a large city with about 10 million inhabitants, Lima has a wealth of historical sites, with about 400 sites scattered in various residential areas.

This amazing archaeological discovery provides a deeper understanding of the complexity and richness of Peru's ancient civilization, and leaves us with many mysteries waiting to be solved.
