The mummies were found two weeks ago, clothed and buried in one of the brick pyramids that lived in the Pachacamac temple area.

According to archaeologists, these animals are sacrifices related to a funeral.

These are not hairless dogs (an ancient dog breed of Peru), nor are the shepherd dogs discovered at the tombs of the Chiribaya culture from 900 to 1350. Teeth Their toughness has made archaeologists believe that these are pet dogs used to hunt.

According to the director of the museum Pachacamac Denise Pozzi-Escot, the finding will help archaeologists expand their knowledge of ancient Peruvian breeds.
