docoflove1974 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 (edited) From the San Francisco Chronicle's site (full article here) The burial was at a site called El Brujo on Peru's north coast near Trujillo. They said the woman was part of the Moche culture which thrived in the area between A.D. 1 and A.D. 700. The mummy was dated about A.D. 450. I find it interesting that the tattoos and scarring not only were visible, but that there were so many on her in the first place. I had heard of men undergoing such ritualistic 'skin art', but not so much on women! Edited May 16, 2006 by docoflove1974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
