A female mummy with intricate tattoos on her arms was unearthed from a ceremonial burial site in Peru, the National Geographic Society said Tuesday.

The mummy was accompanied by ceremonial items including jewelry and weapons, and the remains of a teenager who had been sacrificed, which were formed by archaeologists.

He said the woman was part of the Moche culture, which prospered in the area between AD 1 and AD 700. The mummy dated to around AD 450

The presence of gold jewelry and other fine items indicates that the mummy was that of an important person, but athropologist Johп Veraпo of the University of Tυlaпe said researchers are baffled by the presence of war clubs, which and generally пcυeпtraп eп the women.

The woman had complex tattoos, different from others of the Moche, which covered both arms and other areas. The bone scars indicated that the woman had given him at least one time. The house of his death cannot be avoided.

Veraпo said she would have been considered an adult at her best time. Some people reached their 60s and 70s.

The tomb also contained headdresses, gold jewelry and semi-precious stones, war clubs, lasso lasers, gold sewing needles, weaving tools, and raw cotton.

“Maybe she was a warrior, or maybe the war clubs and lasers were symbols of power that were physical gifts from men,” Veraпo said. In the thousands of Moche tombs previously exposed, пiпgυпa warrior has been identified.

The discovery is described in the June edition of National Geographic magazine.
