LIMA, Peru (AP) — Some archaeologists describe Peru’s capital as an onion with many layers of history, others consider it a box of surprises.
That's what some gas line workers got when their digging uncovered eight pre-Inca funeral bales.
The city also has more than 400 larger archaeological sites that have turned up scattered through the urban landscape.
The company’s archaeologists believe the finds belong to the pre-Inca culture called Ichma.
The eight burial bundles were found near some braised chicken restaurants and a road that leads to Peru’s only nuclear power station.
