New Delhi: A pre-Hispanic mummy, estimated to be around 600-800 years old, was found in a food delivery bag by Peruvian police, as reported by CNN. The mummified remains were found with three men on Saturday afternoon, police told CNN. According to the police, the men were drinking in a deserted park in the Peruvian city of Puno.

“A 26-year-old man had a delivery bag labeled ‘Pedidos Ya.’ Inside they found a mummy,” senior agent Marco Antonio Ortega, a spokesperson for Puno region’s National Police, told CNN. 

Pedidos Ya is a Latin American food delivery app. The 26-year-old man was identified as Julio Cesar Bermejo. According to the news agency AFP, Julio Cesar had named the remains “Juanita” while speaking to the local media. He had described the remains as “like my spiritual girlfriend,” CNN reported.

“At home, she’s in my room, she sleeps with me. I take care of her,” he said in a video, according to AFP. The mummy is believed to be an adult male and presumed to be from the eastern area of Puno, as reported by the Peruvian news agency ANDINA. The mummy remains are currently in the custody of the Ministry of culture, which has classified it as a national cultural asset.

Cesar Bermejo will remain in detention while investigators look into the case, a government official told AFP on Tuesday. Several mummies have been discovered previously in Peru. Earlier in 2021, a mummy estimated to be between 800 and 1,200 years old was discovered by archeologists at a site near the country’s capital Lima.
