Near 1000 years old mummy found in Peru, which shows that children were sacrificed there at that time. This mummy is of a male, which was found in the ancient city of Cajamarquilla outside the capital Lima. This mummy was lying with knees bent.

When this mummy was found, it was believed that the age of this man must have been between 18 and 22 years at the time of death. But after investigation, it was found that when its mummy was made, it was about 35 years old. About which the report has been published in UNMSM. The archaeologist has named this mummy as Chabelo.

Some children were tortured before being sacrificed

Meanwhile, the remains of eight children were found, wrapped in sacks and ropes as part of funeral rites. Apart from these, skeletons of 12 children have also been found. Archaeologists said that looking at the remains of some of these children, it seems that they were tortured before being killed or before being sacrificed. His bones were broken.

Used to do strange things in honor of dead people

Peter van Dalen Luna, professor of archeology at the National University of San Marcos, said that we know that Andean communities had many styles of funeral rites. It was a parallel world. They used to do many such things for the honor of the dead, which can be strange and surprising for the rest of the world.

The city where the remains were found was the trading center

Pro. Peter van told that his team did DNA analysis and radiocarbon dating of these remains. So that we can get more information about the people of that time. Four pyramids were found in the city of Qajarmarkilla, which were about 1000 years old. At that time the city was the main route of trade between the people living on the Peruvian coast and the mountains. However, till now only one percent of the area in this area has been included in the mining work.

Pro. Peter told that we have not found any written documents, manuscripts, handwriting on stones etc. in Peru at that time. Therefore, archaeologists have to study the ancient remains in a different way to understand the history and culture of that time.
