Eight centuries-old mummies have been unearthed in the capital of Peru, in a find that experts say could point to a colonial-era cemetery.
Archaeologists were hard at work carefully cleaning the ancient preserved corpses found under the site, including the remains of children, in Lima's Park of Legends on the coast of central Peru on Tuesday.
Park official Lucenida Carrion said the find follows an earlier discovery of three mummies, one of which was holding a wooden cross, in early August.
