페루 1,200년 된 무모 강아지 미라 발견, 와리 시대 최초 증거

페루 북부 해안의 고대 매장 유적에서Archaeologists have uncovered the mummified remains of a hairless dog dating back over 1,200 years, representing the first physical evidence of this indigenous breed from the Wari Empire period (600-1050 CE). The discovery at Castillo de Huarmey offers new insights into the complex relationships between humans and animals in ancient Andean societies, predating the Inca Empire by approximately 400 years. These hairless dogs, ancestors of the modern Peruvian Inca Orchid recognized by the American Kennel Club, were an important cultural symbol in ancient Peru, frequently depicted in pottery and officially designated as part of Peru's cultural heritage in 2000.
