Inca mummy bundles poke up from the ground at the newly discovered historic cemetery. The find will be featured in "The Great Inca Rebellion," a new NOVA/National Geographic special, that will air June 26, 2007, on PBS.

This skull, with a nearly 500-year-old wound, believed to have been caused by a Spanish firearm, was unearthed by National Geographic grantee Guillermo Cock. Researchers believe that the skull belonged to an Inca man who was involved in the 1536 siege of Lima. "There may have been Incas and other native people killed by Europeans before him, but this is our oldest example so far," said Cock.
Archaeologist Guillermo Cock examines a skeleton that was one of 72 found buried with no ceremonial offerings, suggesting they died during an attack. The bodies were not facing the right direction and had been tied up or hastily wrapped in a simple cloth and buried at shallow depth. Some of them showed signs of terrible violence.

Archaeologists work at a site on a hillside in Puruchuco, Peru, a suburb of Lima, at the request of the Lima government, where an Inca graveyard with 72 people who were hastily buried was found.
