The Lady of Cao

Researchers already started excavating the region of El Brujo in Peru before the year 1990, but they only unearthed the mummy they dubbed Lady of Cao in 2005. She was buried in quite a simple cloth and supposedly died around the year 400. It is assumed by experts that she was one of the Moche people, who were around way before the Incas were. She was mummified and buried along with several artifacts, so experts assume she came from aristocracy.

Soon after the discovery of the Lady of Cao, her body was brought to a museum located in El Brujo and was kept in a room with climate control. Visitors of the museum can only view her by looking through glass. She was forensically given life, but it is still unknown what her real role in society was. However, it is believed that the Lady of Cao passed away in her late twenties. There were different objects buried with her, so it is possible that she was a human sacrifice.
