The Ministry of Culture is inaugurating an exciting exhibition tonight, featuring mummies and artifacts pinpointing the historical transition from Inca imperial rule through the Spanish Conquest.<\/p>\n

The exhibit, titled Inca Rebellion: Puruchuco<\/em>, features discoveries made at Lima’s Puruchuco-Huaquerones archaeological zone by archaeologists Elena Goycochea and Guillermo Cock.<\/p>\n

\"\"More than 60 original pieces, including ceramics, textiles, metals and skeletal remains, will be part of the show, which tells the story of how people lived in the Inca-controlled territory of Lati<\/em>, now the bustling Lima eastern district known as Ate-Vitarte.<\/p>\n

It also will tell the story of Inca General Quizo Yupanqui’s defeat at the hands of Francisco Pizarro in a valiant, yet doomed, last stand against the Spanish Conquistadors in 1536.<\/p>\n

Between 1999 and 2002, Goycochea and Cock \u2014 leading an international team of scientists \u2014 painstakingly exhumed 2,200 mummies in the shantytown of Tupac Amaru<\/a>, providing the clearest and most complete view to date of everyday life during the Inca\u2019s reign from 1438 to 1532.<\/p>\n

\"\"In 2004, their scientific team returned to Puruchuco to unearth Inca casualties from the historic rebellion of 1536,<\/a> discovering the first gunshot victim ever found from the Conquest era.<\/p>\n

The exhibit will also include photographs of these findings, a complete map of the chiefdoms of Lima, and two mummies. The exhibit continues through July 1 at the National Museum in San Borja.<\/p>\n

Admission is free.<\/p>\n
