“The main characteristic of the mummy is that the whole body was tied up by ropes and with the hands covering the face, which would be part of the local funeral pattern,” said Van Dalen Luna, from the state university of San Marcos.

The Archeologist has started their experiments to find out the actual region and era of the mummy.

“Radiocarbon dating will give a more precise chronology,” added Van Dalen.

Some ceramics, stone-made tools, and vegetable seeds were found from that underground structure in the Lima region.
