Remains of a baby skeleton with a single eye socket were found in a 1,600-year-old cemetery

Archaeologists excavating a roughly 1,600-year-old cemetery belonging to the ancient Nazca culture in Peru have uncovered the skeleton of an infant with a single eye socket in its skull. The burial site, located in the South American country, dates to a period when the Nazca people lived in the region. The discovery adds to the record of unusual cranial features documented among Nazca remains. Researchers will now examine the find to determine whether the single socket reflects a congenital condition or a post-mortem deformation.
