Exhibition of ancient mummies in Peru

A mummy from the Chachapoyas era is currently on display at the national museum before an exhibition in Lima on January 9 last.

The exhibition, which lasted until January 11, showed mummies found in the Amazon forest of Chachapoyas, northern Peru. These mummies date from 900 to 1500 from Chachapoyas and Incas civilization.

According to estimates of scientists, this primitive cave had a life span of more than 600 years, though the entire remains here are almost intact thanks to the perfect embalming technique of the Chachapoyas tribe - dubbed is ' the cloudy warrior ' on the banks of the medieval Amazon river.

Chachapoyas is a slightly ' unusual ' tribe in the Amazon jungle: white, blond, tall - has a theory that their ancestors came from Europe. Thanks to their combat talent, the Chachapoyas tribe empire has expanded into the Andes since 800 to 1500 AD.

The entire historical record of Chachapoyas's existence was almost erased after the Incas invaded, then the Incas themselves were annexed by the Spanish army in 1512. Even the name Chachapoyas It is also because the Incas put it - according to the Quechua dialect, meaning ' cloudy warrior ', because the tribe is always hiding in the thick forests of the mountain year round.

According to archaeologist Herman Crobera: 'This discovery has a very important experimental significance. Previously, archaeologists had never found a large cremation cave like this, even if it belonged to the Chachapoyas or any other tribe in the area. '

According to Crobera's description, the walls surrounding the mummy are meticulously carved with figures of human faces and warriors, as an army to prevent invaders or sinful souls.

The Peruvian government proposes to take all the relics in the mausoleum to the national museum, so the public in the capital Lima will have the opportunity to admire the mummified shapes in a near future.

The bones of his hands clenched tightly against the palate and gaped and opened his eyes - surely, the ill-fated woman had suffered the utter terror at the very moment of her death.
