THE BABY MUMMY FOUNDED
The Mummy Baby: 6500 Years old Peruvian Child Mummy:
This Peruvian child mummy, known as the "Detmold Child," has been
radiocarbon dated to 4504-4457 B.C. more than 3,000 years before the
birth of King Tut. The child, which was about 10 months old when it died, naturally mummified in the hot, arid desert environment.
More than 6,500 years ago in Peru, this tiny baby's brief battle for
life finally came to an end. The child, no more than 10 months old, had a
serious heart defect and suffered from growth problems.
After
contracting pneumonia and then suffering circulation failure the sick
child died and was wrapped in linen and buried with an amulet hung
around its neck.
