Huarmey Queen

The Huarmey Queen was among the most important individuals in the Wari (Huari) culture of Peru. She and her people lived in the Andes Mountains’ coastal areas and the south-central Andes, between 700 and 1000 AD. Actually, the Huarmey Queen and the Great Pyramid of Giza are the same age. Archaeologists found the Queen in the Ancash region, which is north of Lima. Her remains were unearthed in El Castillo de Huarmey (Huarmey’s Castle), which is a well-preserved pyramid mausoleum, together with the remains of 57 other noblewomen.

Scientists decided to give this 1200-year-old queen an actual physical form, which makes her look pretty realistic. The bodies of the Huarmey Queen and all the noblewomen were found in a seated position and in rows of fives. Needless to say, there were incredible artifacts, silver bowls, and copper, gold and silver jewelry buried with the women.
