Police in Peru seized a 600 to 800-year-old mummy from a former delivery man who claims it was his "spiritual girlfriend" for 30 years.
Archaeologists recover ancient human remains and artifacts discovered by workers digging a road in a rural area in northern Lima, Peru. The crew which was working to lay gas pipes found eight bundles of burials, including six children, belonging to an 800 to 1,000-year-old pre-Hispanic culture.
Archaeologists work at the excavation site of a newly discovered pre-Hispanic burial chamber in Peru's northern department of Cajamarca. The site, where human remains and several items used as offerings were found, was devoted to the cult of ancestors, according to experts.
The mummy, which is believed to be between 800 and 1,200 years old, was found in an ancient mud urban centre called Cajamarquilla, located on the outskirts of Lima.
After a four-year search, a team of archaeologists, led by Sam Ghavanmi, have found a 1,000-year-old mural, known as the "Huaca Pintada," in a village in Lambayeque, northern Peru.
