Archaeologists Find 1,200-Year-Old Mummy With Skin and Hair

Peruvian archaeologists have discovered a mummy believed to be over 1,000 years old with some of its skin and hair still intact. The mummy was found at the archaeological complex of Cajamarquilla, near Lima's outskirts. The body is believed to be that of an adolescent. Archaeologists are still uncovering new finds at Cajamarquilla. In January, eight children and 12 adults believed to have been killed in a ritual sacrifice were unearthed. Inside Edition Digital’s Stephanie Officer has more.

i like how its somewhat calming, relaxed music and then at the end you hear that children and adults were 'sacrificed in a ritual'

It's amazing how it's been preserved for so long.

[BaSSicBeatz]

It’s amazing to see how far technology has become to discover and preserve artefacts like these.

I'd like to be mummified and hidden somewhere so people thousands of years from now can be amazed when they find me.

[Nitrotypist]

It’s crazy how scientists already know a lot about the past of this mummy

[galaxystarrs]

I love reading and watching stories about mummies and ancient times. Its so fascinating.

[Shams]

Imagine you peacefully buried for 1200 years for people to dig you up and be fascinated!!

[its_karthi_yoo]

Which I had a time machine to go back in time to see what people actually did 1000 years

[AbraCassandraCrafts]

Man I hope in 1, 200 years no one digs up my corpse to study...

[AleckaRogers-fiey]

Why I am gonna be cremated so no one in 1000 decides to dig me up and bother my eternal slumber...

[tayy]

it’s weird to think that in the future people will probably be discovering our bodies..

[vigiantvortx]

Imagine being excited finding the corpse of a child.

[BrianCarnevaleB]

Keep searching, and never give up because many more finds await!
Fascinating!

[IDONTKNOWWHATTODOWITHMYSELF]

Damn, I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it.

[beechboi]

I’m outraged …this is not a mummy ..it is a mummified person..how dear you ..Cancelled

[journeymansmitty]

Well I wonder if they could trace back the bloodline to anyone today if the skin and hair is intact🤔

[UnknownUser-jgry]

Feels good when people find historical things!

[Patco]

Honest question, at what point does grave robbing legitimately become archeology ?

[-Ghostyinlove-]

I was so calm and fascinated till I heard the sacrifice part

[savannah]

Let them rest in pieces and stop digging up their graves😢
