Archaeologists have discovered a mummy estimated to be at least 800 years old in Peru. Startlingly, the mummy was preserved in a crouching position with its hands covering its face. 

The discovery was made at Cajamarquilla, a large pre-Inca site just outside the Peruvian capital Lima. Archaeologists believe is part of the Wari or Chaclla culture.
