It is assumed that the child lived between 1100 and 1200 years and may belong to the Lima or Ichma cultures.
Peruvian archaeologists outside of Lima have discovered a mummy older than 1000 years. This was reported by Reuters.

The mummy was likely a teenager and was found in an underground tomb, wrapped in a burial bag, along with pottery and rope, including pieces of skin and hair, scientists said.
The mummy was discovered about 200 meters from the place where the first mummy was found in the area.
The remains of eight children and 12 adults were also found at this archaeological site and were probably sacrificed around 800-1200 years ago.
According to experts, at the excavation site there are ruins of four pyramids and other structures, such as walls laid out in the form of a labyrinth. Perhaps this place was inhabited by people from the coast and mountains.
