Pre-Incan Female Wari Mummy Found In Peru

This is coool!

LIMA (Reuters) – Archeologists working at Peru’s Huaca Pucllana ruins pulled a mummy from a tomb on Tuesday, thought to be from the ancient Wari culture that flourished before the Incas.

Besides the female mummy, the tomb contained the remains of two other adults and a child. It is the first intact Wari burial site discovered at Huaca Pucllana in the capital Lima, and researchers believe it dates from about 700 AD.

I love stuff like this.

    Looks like she has a Thyroid disorder.

    Either that or she was drawn by a Japanese cartoonist.
