Archaeologists Discover 73 1,000-Year-Old Mummies Wrapped in Beautiful Cloth with Wooden and Ceramic Fake Heads

Dream - Archaeologists in Peru have discovered a burial site containing at least 73 mummies dating back approximately 1,000 years. This period predates the Inca civilization's dominance over parts of western South America by several hundred years. Each of the 73 mummies was wrapped in cloth - some of which were colorful - and ropes.

"Mummy with a Fake Head"

Several male and female mummies were buried wearing masks made of carved wood and ceramics. According to Krzysztof Makowski, the head of archaeological research at the site, the masks made of wood and ceramics are known as false heads.

"Makowski, who is also an archaeologist at the Catholic Pontifical University of Peru, mentioned that colorful ceramics were also found in several graves at the site. The discovery of the ancient burial dating back 1,000 years has been discussed by Makowski in an article on the Archeowieści blog, managed by the Faculty of Archaeology at the University of Warsaw."

Website Pachacámac

The translation of the given text from Bahasa to English while preserving any HTML tags is as follows: The burial found at the Pachacámac archaeological site near Lima originated from the Wari culture. The mummies were buried near the Wari Painting Temple and date back 800 to 1,100 years ago. During this time, the Wari Empire rapidly developed in that region, added the post.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: The Wari people are known for their well-preserved mummies, intricate artworks, including ceramics and intricately designed fabrics. They also practiced human sacrifice and used hallucinogens during religious rituals.

"Mysterious Wooden Stick"

In addition, archaeologists also found two wooden sticks near the burial site in the remains of a nearby settlement. These sticks were found in a pile of 'spiny oyster' shells (Spondylus princeps).

"Social Strata of Society"

The shell is likely imported from a place now called Ecuador, which is located north of the Wari Empire. Both of those sticks have iconographic carvings that provide information about the social strata of the Pachacámac society.

It is mentioned that people in Pachacámac had some contacts with people in the Tiwanaku Kingdom. This Tiwanaku Kingdom is located to the south of the Wari Empire, a region that now becomes part of Peru, Bolivia, and Chile.

Every stick has carvings that depict a ruler wearing a headdress that looks similar to what people wear in the Tiwanaku Kingdom. In the Quechua language used by the indigenous people of the Andes, the word Pachacámac means 'the one who gives life to the Earth'. Archaeological research shows that Pachacámac was a relatively simple settlement during the Wari Empire era. However, it later grew rapidly during the dominance of the Inca tribe, which began to flourish in the 15th century.
