'Great stories aren't just told'
Because discoveries of this nature are common in Peru, utility companies are generally required to have archaeologists on staff to oversee digs.
"Great stories aren't just told: they're lived, discovered, and shared," Bahamonde said in a LinkedIn post, translated from Spanish, about the discovery. "This is a new story added to the more than 2,200 archaeological remains discovered along our path. Millennia-old testimonies that lie beneath our streets, waiting to be interpreted with respect and returned to the collective memory."
The Chancay culture flourished from around 1000 to 1470 CE, before later being absorbed into the Inca Empire, according to the University of Missouri's Museum of Art and Archaeology. The coastal Chancay civilization is recognized by archaeologists for its people's accomplishments in producing distinct ceramics and textiles.

Private spaceflight ends with Pacific splashdown for astronauts
The SpaceX capsule undocked from the International Space Station on Monday and parachuted into the ocean off the Southern California coast, less than 24 hours later. The crew of four launched nearly three weeks ago on a flight chartered by the Houston company Axiom Space. The SpaceX capsule undocked from the International Space Station and splashed down in the Pacific less than 24 hours later (NASA via AP) Axiom's Peggy Whitson, the most experienced US astronaut, served as commander. Joining her were India's Shubhanshu Shukla, Poland's Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski and Hungary's Tibor Kapu, whose countries paid more than 65 million dollars (£48 million) apiece for the mission. Moments after splashdown, speaking on the radio, Dr Whitson said: 'Thanks for the great ride and safe trip.' The visiting astronauts conducted dozens of experiments in orbit while celebrating their heritage. The 11 astronauts aboard the International Space Station shared a group hug ahead of the departure of the private crew of four (Axiom Space via AP) The last time India, Poland and Hungary put anyone in space was during the late 1970s and 1980s, launching with the Soviets. It was Axiom's fourth mission to the orbiting outpost since 2022, part of Nasa's ongoing effort to open up space to more businesses and people. The company is one of several developing their own space stations to replace the current one. Nasa plans to abandon the outpost in 2030, after more than 30 years of operation.

See photos of 1,000-year-old-mummy discovered in Peru
Archaeologists believe the well-preserved remains belonged to an adolescent, aged between 10 and 15 years old, of the pre-Inca Chancay culture, Calidda said in a Facebook post. Dark hair and pieces of skin were still attached to the body, which Jesus Bahamonde, archaeologist and scientific coordinator for Calidda, told AP and the Agence France-Presse was likely buried between 1000 and 1200 CE. 'Great stories aren't just told' Because discoveries of this nature are common in Peru, utility companies are generally required to have archaeologists on staff to oversee digs. "Great stories aren't just told: they're lived, discovered, and shared," Bahamonde said in a LinkedIn post, translated from Spanish, about the discovery.
