Must See Pics of an Astonishingly Well Preserved 1,000 year old Mummy

 Check out these incredible photos which show an astonishingly well preserved 1,000 year old mummy which will soon be going on public display for the first time.

The woman, who died aged 50, was mummified in the foetal position and buried in the ancient settlement of Pachacamac, near Lima, Peru. Her remains were discovered in 2012 and have been kept in storage ever since in exactly the same state in which she was found. She will be unveiled to the public at the Musee de Confluences, in Lyon, France later this month. See more photos after the cut.
