Message from Nicole Carter

Laguna de las Momias, also known as Lagoon of the Mummies, is an archaeological site in Peru where well-preserved funeral deposits dating back to ancient times have been discovered. The site contains mausoleums with mummies in seated positions, wrapped in textiles, and surrounded by various artifacts like ceramics and silver objects. Unfortunately, some mummies were damaged or destroyed due to looting and tourist activities. Overall, it's a fascinating place where you can glimpse into the burial practices of the past!
