Peruvian delivery man carried ancient mummy around in his bag
Police in Peru made a surprise discovery when they searched a delivery man who came to their attention for acting drunk at an archaeological site in Puno.
Inside his cooler bag was an ancient mummy.
The man said that he had been sharing his room with the bandaged mummy and considered it "a kind of spiritual girlfriend". He had put the remains in the bag to show them off to his friends, he said.
Experts said the body was between 600 and 800 years old and that it was that of an adult male rather than a woman, as the man who was discovered with it had assumed.
Police have seized the mummy carried in the cooler bag and handed it to Peru's ministry of culture, which looks after the country's heritage.
The man who was transporting it and his two friends, who are between 23 and 26 years old, were detained and are being investigated for possible crimes against Peru's cultural heritage.
