You know what? Now that I think about it, it's a really good thing we didn't see Mummy getting really really really pissed off, not just because of the hidden powers he could have as an undead monster, but because it is very well know that when a peruvian gets really angry, HELL WILL FOLLOW CLOSE

IDEA: What if Ampata, the Incan mummy girl, was allowed to survive and joined the Scooby gang?

Like, they let Anya, a former VENGEANCE DEMON, join them, a woman who killed and tortured people for fun. Like, she stopped doing that though so it's fine I guess lmao

So obviously Ampata couldn't still be killing people to live, so how would she survive?

Vampires.

Vampires have eternal youth, and they're all evil and soulless. Buffy could capture the vampires, and Ampata could suck their lifeforce. Win-win! Ethical mummy demon!

Eight Mummies and Pre-Inca Artifacts Discovered in Peru

Peruvian gas workers made an astonishing discovery beneath the ancient streets of Lima this week — uncovering eight mummies and a number of Pre-Inca artifacts.

“We are recovering those leaves of the lost history of Lima that is just hidden under the tracks and streets,” said Jesus Bahamonde, an archaeologist with Calidda, the company that distributes natural gas to the 10 million residents of Peru’s capital city.

Since the company began expanding its gas line system nearly two decades ago, they’ve racked up more than 1,900 archeological finds — including mummies, pottery, and textiles, Bahamonde said.

In the most recent discovery, the eight mummified males were found bundled up in the trench, wrapped in cotton cloth and tied with ropes braided from vines. Workers found the bodies about a foot below the ground.

Archeologists with the gas company believe the men belonged to a pre-Inca culture called Ichma, which formed around A.D. 1100 and flourished in the valleys around Lima until it was absorbed into the Inca Empire in the late 15th century.

Roberto Quispe, an archeologist who worked in the trench, sad the mummified bodies are likely two adults and six minors.

Lima, now an urban economic hub, has been occupied by humans for more than 10,000 years, from the Pre-Incan cultures to the Spanish conquistadors who claimed the land in the 16th century.

Many archeological finds have proven to be from more recent times.

In 2018, Quispe and other archaeologists working in the La Flor neighborhood found wooden coffins holding three Chinese immigrants buried in the 19th century.

The bodies were found alongside opium pipes, hand-rolled cigarettes, shoes, Chinese playing cards, a Peruvian silver coin minted in 1898 and a certificate of completion of employment contract, written and Spanish and dated 1875.

The eight mummies were found amidst braised chicken restaurants and a road that leads to Peru’s only nuclear power station.

“When the Spaniards arrived in the 16th century they found an entire population living in the three valleys that today occupy Lima … what we have is a kind of historical continuation,” Bahamonde said.

Most of the archaeological sites uncovered by Calidda have been burial sites discovered on flat ground, Bahamonde said.

Aso scattered throughout the urbanized city are more than 400 larger archeological sites, known in the indigenous Quechua language as “huacas,” which are sacred adobe constructions typically found on hilltops.

Rewatching with someone who has totally fresh eyes can be really enlightening sometimes. My partner and I reached Inca Mummy Girl last night - an episode I've previously written off as not having much to say - and they were talking about how much they liked Ampata, and that she was their favourite villain so far specifically because they had the most sympathetic motive. Which I hadn't really appreciated before, but it's true - Ampata is one of the first villains in this stretch of the series, along with Spike, Drusilla, Ford, Ethan, etc, that are more Characters with Motivations than they are pure symbols of some metaphorical challenge that Buffy is facing, all of whom set the stage for Angelus. And as the first villain we see that is clearly a version of Buffy that makes different choices under similar circumstances, she sets the stage for Drusilla, Faith, and Glory too.

random 'Inca Mummy Girl' thoughts:

In the museum, Buffy is disappointed her friends think she solves all her problems with violence. Then later, Giles agrees to let her go to the dance to end their training session, because when she trains while angry she unintentionally hurts him. Her response: "Yay! I win :)". Don't know if I have anything to say about that, but I'm definitely paying more attention to Buffy's characterisation on this rewatch, and noticing more of her Faith-like traits.

I think of Xander's jealousy over Buffy as a Season One thing, but it seems to be sticking around, and I am extremely tired of it. Hope it doesn't last much longer.

The Scoobies' assumption that Ampata can translate an ancient Incan relic just because they're South American is so wild I struggle not to read it as a joke at their expense. (Though given the show's approach to other cultures - as exemplified by this episode especially - it almost certainly isn't.)

It's interesting that this episode doesn't try to play itself as a mystery - the audience is never kept in the dark about what's happening, even as the Scoobies are. It's much to the episode's benefit - it allows Ampata to be an actual character, where a mystery would likely keep her at too much of a distance. It doesn't just make her sympathetic - it makes her a viewpoint character, which makes the Buffy parallels much more tangible.

Speaking of which, this episode has a Garth Marenghi approach to subtext, but honestly I kind of like that. It's nice to have subtext even I can notice sometimes.

I didn't remember going in that Oz first appeared in this episode, so that was a nice surprise. But then seeing Jonathan was even more of one - I really wasn't expecting to see him so soon. Strange that such a small role became a recurring character when so many Sunnydale students appear in one episode and then are immediately forgotten about, but I guess he does give a good, distinctive performance.

Sorry Buffy, but "I'll say one thing for you Incan mummies - you don't kiss and tell," is just a terrible quip. And you can tell Buffy was thinking of it on the journey - as she runs to the museum she's thinking to herself 'I need to say something funny about kissing, I guess?', and she does a bad job. I think she needs to take some improv classes or something if she's gonna keep doing this.

A mummy was discovered in an underground tomb in Peru, completely bound with ropes and with its hands covering its face.

Archaeologists from the National University of San Marcos found the mummy in 2021, in good condition in Cajamarquilla, an important site c. 25 km inland from the coastal city and capital Lima, Peru.

The mummy is estimated to be between 800 and 1200 years old and probably belonged to the Inca. It appears to be a man of about 25-30 years, but further investigation is needed to determine this, as well as the cause of death. However, it seems to have been a high personality, at least that is what the precious food items, such as mussels, suggest.

Forget Egyptian mummies, why don't we ever have stories about Incan mummy kings? Those mummies had their own homes and attendants, and oracles who provided political advice, and their families remained political factions for decades or centuries after the king's death. Sure, the Spanish tried to get rid of them in the 16th century, but do you really think they got all of them?

Here, read the section on Mummification:

Day 2: THEY KNOW!? (aka, monsters among us)

Before explaining what does the tittle mean and who are "they", here is a new clip of the movie with Sara, Pickles and we finally hear what Ramirez sounds like in the original dub (it's beautiful):

(Sara arrives at the Louvre Museum. She gasps as she sees all the mess outside)

Reporter 1: Tad Stones strikes again. First Chicago and now Paris.

Reporter 2: The french police joins the persecution of the dangerous criminal Tad Stones.

Reporter 3: Vampires, zombies, aliens. Are they living among us?

Agent Pickles (looking at the "fixed" Mona Lisa): Ah. There are people who only want to see the world burn (sneezes)

Agent Ramirez: Pickles, look at this.

Pickles: Oh, how I want to capture that Stones and apply him the key to sleep.

Ramirez: (sighs) Listen. They are going to the Nile's waterfall. We should alert-

Pickles: (not listening) The key to sleep Ramirez is the first thing you learn at the CIA. One touch on a vital point and the enemy falls unconscious.

Ramirez: Can you do me the favor to listen!? And you can't eat here!

Pickles: Seriously? (he eats the croissant entirely) Problem solved. (sneezes again)

The Mona Lisa: *is ruined again*

Ramirez: (sees the painting and gasps)

Pickles: Ah (looks at Ramirez, guilty)

-----------------------------------------------

So, to resume: Tad is considered an international dangerous criminal, the agents are there after they failed to capture the team (with Pickles being sick for falling into the water), Ramirez founds out about the group's journey thanks to Mummy's account, Pickles is in his own world (or his own case) and...

The reporter mentioned something about monsters hidding in plain sight!?

This guy (who I suppose is paranormal TV host Iker Jimenez's cameo) just dropped what we could considerate a massive bomb on us and what could change the franchise forever.

People have seen the mummies, people have recognized as real monsters. There is a TV channel that is broadcasting other types of monsters to possibly live among them. People got curious about the unknow that they are debating whenever this is true or not. And if it's confirmed at the end that it's true?

What does that mean for Victoria Moon? Will her TV show increase in ratings? For the mummies, are they going to expose themselves to the human world?

For people like Rackham, Max or Oddyseus, does that mean free cash is on their way and will take advantage of the fact that monsters don't have rights that could protect them?

Gente, this is getting out of hand, in a really good way. I hope things don't get on the status quo of "cool costume, special effects or it was bait all along" becuase the concept of monsters being a minority in a world full of humans sounds promising. Also the fact the there could be more monsters out there who are just hidding. Maybe they will start to come out after the mummies reveal themselves to the public. Maybe one of said monsters is the antagonist or villain of the fourth movie.

Again, they have the potential. Crossing fingers the crew recognize it as well.
