police in the city of Puno were doing routine patrols through a local park when they spotted 26-year-old Julio Cesar Bermejo hanging out with some friends.
The mummy had been stuffed into Bermejo’s old work bag, the same insulated carrier he’d used during his days delivering food to people’s homes.
Bermejo had given the mummy a name – “Juanita” – and described their relationship in terms that would make anyone do a double-take.
In a video that quickly went viral on social media, he explained: “At home, she’s in my room, she sleeps with me.
The mental image of this guy tucking in a 600-year-old mummy every night is both hilarious and deeply unsettling.
Most kids have teddy bears or imaginary friends – this guy had a pre-Hispanic mummy.
While most of us are worried about our dating lives, this guy was literally sleeping next to a 600-year-old mummy and calling it romance. »
