Workers uncover eight mummies and pre-Inca objects in Peru

Peru’s capital, Lima, has been described by some archaeologists as an onion with multiple layers of history, while others liken it to a box of surprises.

Recently, gas line workers in the city made an unexpected discovery when their excavation unearthed eight pre-Inca funeral bales.

“We are recovering those leaves of the lost history of Lima that is just hidden under the tracks and streets,” said Jesus Bahamonde, an archaeologist at Calidda, the company responsible for distributing natural gas in the city of 10 million residents.

Over the course of the past 19 years, the company’s excavation efforts to expand its gas line system have yielded over 1,900 archaeological findings, including mummies, pottery, and textiles.

Most of these discoveries have been linked to burial sites located on level ground, the Associated Press reports.
