An unusual case occurred at the Mantaro viewpoint, which is located near the Las Torres urbanization, in the Peruvian city of Puno, after the Peruvian National Police (PNP) arrived to where three people were drinking alcoholic beverages.

She is from the Colla culture, she is a priestess, as we can see her nails, they are not from an old person, because in old age they wrinkle, right? I affectionately named this mummy Juanita. She sleeps with me, I take care of her, excuse the word, she is like my spiritual girlfriend. I take care of her, I put her water, well, they say that water is bad, because it attracts spirits, but we give it water.
But after the first results that the experts obtained, according to information from infobae, Julio César discovered that he lived deceived, since his spiritual girlfriend was actually an adult male individual, coming from the eastern part of the region. In addition, it was estimated that the cultural property would have approximately a relative chronology of between 600 and 800 years old.
