According to Ancient Organis, Peruvian archaeologists have found the bones of three children and five adults. The experts believe that the remains were found in a unique graveyard from the colonial era.
Earlier this year, a team of researchers discovered the remains of the bodies of 42 Spanish colonials with pink disease 500 years old in Lima, the capital of Peru, and it is also believed that the missing bodies of three referees from the Inca Empire also hidden somewhere in this site According to Ancient Organis, this started to happen about the fourteenth century.
Three “children’s mummies” have recently been found in Peru at a different colonial-era site, providing evidence of the existence of a lost colonial cemetery.
One of the three skeletons that were discovered in August this year was holding a wooden cross, the cross indicates that the archaeological site was not “probably” to the people of the country and that it was “probably” dating back to the colonial period that lasted from 1534 to 1820.
The discovery of these eight bodies and the brands supports our theory that this cemetery may be one from the colonial period, according to Lucinida Carion, one of the participants in archaeological research. It is noteworthy that the eight mummies were interred among fabrics woven with patterns frequently associated with the Spanish colonists.
