mummies of aboriginal Peruvians
brought back by an expedition to the
Pisco region. From these and other
discoveries it would seem that there
was an advanced civilization in that
part of the country long before the
time of Christ. Cities of different pc
RODS were found one built over the
other, the earlier ones having been
buried. The expeditions also sreturned
with a great wealth of embroidered
tapestries, beautifully decorated pot
terry, some in the shapes of animals and
serpents. One of a llama design showed
five toes on the fore feet instead Of
the present split hoof Llama skele-
tons showing the same characteristic
