Archaeologists in Peru have found two mummies more than 1,000 years old in a suburb of the capital, Lima. The mummies – of an adult and a child – were found at an ancient religious complex which has been under excavation since 1981. The child is believed to have been an offering to the gods and may have been buried alive after the adult’s death. Researchers also found other offerings including the remains of guinea pigs and jars with feline designs.
