mummy-mía!


This sweet mummy was found a few years ago in Peru.  This is the body of a teenage girl that lived around A.D. 450 among the Moche culture.  She was buried with all sorts of weapons and jewelry and has some incredible tattoos on her body.  Unfortunately for her, she appears to have been sacrificed so she didn't get to enjoy her tattoos for long.

Sorry for the morbid post, but I think this is so cool.
