Mummy Hand, Magdalena de Cao, El Brujo, Peru, 2004

A close-up shows the desiccated hand of a remarkably preserved woman from Peru's ancient Moche culture. The discovery of her elaborately wrapped remains at a ceremonial site called El Brujo puzzled archaeologists, who were surprised by what appeared to be a female ruler among the male-dominated Moche.

一个特写镜头向我们展示了秘鲁著名的古莫希文化时期的女干尸那干瘪的手。这具完整的有包裹层的女干尸在布鲁霍仪式地点被发现。考古学家们对于在男性掌权的莫希文化时期竟有这样的女领导者而感到迷惑不已。
