Dogs dig up mummy

Two dogs digging for a buried bone in their owner's backyard in Chile found a 2,500-year-old mummy.

Ivan Paredes, who lives in Arica, could not believe his eyes when his dogs dug up the ancient body. He told La Cuarta online: "The dogs were trying to find bones buried in the backyard as usual, but they started to bark very loud and I came to check what was going on and found the mummy of a child."
