Mummies from the Chachapoyas culture from about 800 AD are displayed at the Museum of Leymebamba, in the Andean region of Chachapoyas, July 16, 2011. The Museo Leymebamba displays more than 200 mummies from the Chachapoyas culture and their burial offerings recovered in 1997 from the Laguna de los Condores. The mummies have been wrapped in layers of cloth, creating a microclimate that promotes conservation, according to the Museum. The skin of the mummies has also been treated and appears leathery with preserved facial features. Picture taken July 16, 2011. [Photo/Agencies]
