Ancient Teen Mummy Discovered in Peru with Skin and Hair Intact.

Archaeologists in Peru have discovered a well-preserved mummy of an adolescent wrapped in a funerary bundle, along with ceramics and rope, dating back to 1,100-1,200 years ago. The mummy was found in the sprawling Cajamarquilla complex, which features the ruins of four pyramids and other constructions such as walls laid out like a maze. The complex is the second largest mud-brick city in Peru after Chan Chan in the north of the Andean country.
