Mummified skull
Mummified skull and hair resting on ropes. Mummies such as this are found in several sites in the arid highlands of southern Peru, preserved by the extreme dryness. Many still retain their skin and hair. They are the remains of people who inhabited the area around 2000 years ago. Many of their cemeteries have been ransacked by grave robbers, and bones and other remains are found scattered on the sand

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mummified skull and hair delicately resting on ropes, offering a glimpse into the ancient world of southern Peru. These remarkable mummies are discovered in various sites within the arid highlands, their preservation owed to the region's extreme dryness. Astonishingly, many of these remains still retain fragments of skin and strands of hair, providing an intimate connection to those who inhabited this area approximately two millennia ago. Tragically, numerous cemeteries have fallen victim to grave robbers over time, leaving bones and other remnants scattered across the sandy terrain. However, amidst this desolation emerges a haunting beauty that captivates both anthropologists and paleontologists alike. The skull's weathered teeth tell tales of lives once lived as it silently bears witness to centuries gone by. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human history and offers valuable insights into past civilizations. It invites us to contemplate the fragility of existence while marveling at our ancestors' ability to endure through time. As we gaze upon this dried relic from another era - its features etched with wisdom and experience - we cannot help but feel a sense of reverence for those who came before us. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this extraordinary artifact, inviting us all to delve deeper into the realms of anthropology and paleoanthropology. Through their lens, they bring forth not only an image frozen in time but also an opportunity for reflection on our collective journey as humans on this
