Introduction
The Nazca Mummies are an intriguing collection of ancient remains found in Peru's Nazca region. Discovered in 2015 in subterranean passages near the famous Nazca Lines, these mummies have captivated global attention. Radiocarbon dating suggests they are from between 200 BCE and 800 CE. Contrary to some speculation, advanced imaging techniques like X-rays and CT scans confirm that the mummies' bones are intact and not fabricated from a mixture of human and animal remains. This discovery continues to be a subject of research and debate within the scientific community.
