The Incan Mummies are preserved remains of individuals from the Inca Empire, which thrived in South America from the early 15th century until the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. These mummies were often created through natural processes, such as the cold, dry conditions of the Andes Mountains, or through intentional methods like desiccation and wrapping in textiles. Many of these mummies were found in burial sites, often in high-altitude locations, and they provide valuable insights into Inca culture, health, and rituals. Some mummies were even sacrificed in religious ceremonies, reflecting the Inca belief in the afterlife and the importance of honoring their ancestors.
