Summary
| Description |
English: Women's mummified body. Height around 1.48 m & age between 24 & 26 years. She was found along with two babies & other individuals in her group in the Babylon Cave, at Fazenda de Santana, Municipality of Goiana, in Minas Gerais. The bodies, preserved naturally thanks to the conditions of the cold & dry cave where they were buried, date from approximately 600 years ago, thus preceding the Portuguese' arrival, in Brazil. The children are respectively one month & 1 year old. The bodies were placed on stones, wrapped in baskets, nets, leaves & fibers. Next to them were left objects representative of their culture, such as bags braided in fibers, a hammock, a thick rope & a "cross" of threads, placed on the woman's head. By the analysis of the objects & the place where the group was found, it is believed that they belonged to the Botocudos branch, more specifically to the Maxacali, Kamakan or Makuni ethnic groups. These bodies were donated to Emperor D. Pedro II by Maria José de SAntana, owner of the farm where they were found, where coffee was planted at the time. Today they’re part of the collection of the National Museum of UFRJ, in Rio de Janeiro. Português: Corpo mumificado de mulher. Estatura em torno de 1,48 m e idade entre 24 e 26 anos. Foi encontrada junto a dois bebês e outros indivíduos de seu grupo na Caverna da Babilônia, na Fazenda de Santana, Município de Goiana, em Minas Gerais. Os corpos, conservados naturalmente graças às condições da caverna fria e seca onde foram sepultados, datam de aproximadamente 600 anos atrás, antecedendo, portanto, a chegada dos portugueses ao Brasil. As crianças têm respectivamente um mês e um ano de vida. Os corpos foram colocados sobre pedras, enrolados em cestas, redes, folhas e fibras. Junto a eles foram deixados objetos representativos de sua cultura, como bolsas trançadas em fibras, rede de dormir, uma corda grossa e uma "cruz" de fios, colocada sobre a cabeça da mulher. Pela análise dos objetos e do local onde o grupo foi encontrado, acredita-se que pertenciam ao ramo dos Botocudos, mais especificamente às etnias Maxacali, Kamakan ou Makuni. Estes corpos foram doados ao Imperador D. Pedro II por Maria José de SAntana, dona da fazenda onde foram encontrados, onde se plantava café na época. Hoje integram o acervo do Museu Nacional da UFRJ, no Rio de Janeiro. |
