The Lady of Cao
Before 1990, researchers were already working on the excavation of the El Brujo region in Peru. In 2005, they uncovered a mummy they called Lady of Cao. She wore simple clothing, and they estimated her death at around 400. Experts believe she was a member of the Moche people, which meant she was around long before the Incas. They found artifacts with the mummy, so she was likely nobility.

They brought her remains to a museum in El Brujo, where they kept her body in a climate-controlled room. You will only see her through a looking glass now. Even though they brought her back in a way, they still have no idea what her role in society was. They believe she died during her late twenties. One theory is that she was a human sacrifice.
