THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 2002 Archaeologists working in Peru have discovered more than 2,000 well-preserved Inca mummies. The mummies date to the late 1400s and early 1500s, prior to Spanish settlement. Researchers say they are a significant find because they can shed light on Inca culture during a critical time period. So far, only three mummies have been unwrapped. It could take decades to examine them all. Work was done under the auspices of the National Geographic Society. Get the Story:
