Huarmey Queen
The Huarmey Queen was one of the most important people in Peru’s Wari (Huari) culture. She and her people were located in the coastal areas of the Andes Mountains, as well as the south-central Andes, from 700 – 1000 AD. The Huarmey Queen is as old as the Great Pyramid of Giza. Archaeologists uncovered the Queen north of Lima in the Ancash region. Her remains were discovered in El Castillo de Huarmey (Huarmey’s Castle), a well-preserved pyramid mausoleum, along with 57 other noblewomen.

What The Huarmey Queen Really Looked Like
Unlike other virtual reconstructions, scientists gave the 1200-year-old an actual physical form, making her look quite realistic. The mummies of both the Huarmey Queen and the noblewomen were all found in a particular seated position, in rows of fives. As you can assume, the women were buried with incredible artifacts, along with silver bowls and gold, copper and silver jewelry.
