3/1/2004: Peruvian mummy

Egypt the only place you find mummies? No, there are other places and one of the biggest is Peru. The Incas did some mummification, as did some other cultures there. So now when workers went digging to build a new sports ground for a school, this is what they found. A man age 35, and a boy age 5.

And the man was so well preserved that, well, that's his EYE dangling there.

Imagine, digging up some ground and that's what you come across. They figure these mummies are pre-Inca, but I must admit that when we get into the fine details of different civilizations... my eyes glaze over...
