A glass, marble, and
bronze sarcophagus was built to hold the mummy, which was venerated by history
buffs and churchgoers.
But in 1977, workers cleaning a crypt beneath the altar found two wooden
boxes with human bones. One box held the remains of two children; an elderly
female; an elderly male, complete; and an elderly male, headless; and some
fragments of a sword. The other contained the lead box--inscribed as had been
recorded in 1661--in which was a skull that matched postcranial bones of the
headless man in the first box. A Peruvian historian, anthropologist, two
radiologists, and two American anthropologists studied the remains. The man was
a white male at least 60 years old (Pizarro's exact age was unknown; he was said
to be 63 or 65 by contemporary historians) and 5'5" to 5'9" in height. He had
lost most of his upper molars and many lower incisors and molars, had arthritic
lipping on his vertebrae, had fracture his right ulna while a child, and had
suffered a broken nose.
Examination of the remains indicated that the assassins did a thorough job.
There were four sword thrusts to neck, the sixth and twelfth thoracic vertebrae
were nicked by sword thrusts, the arms and hands were wounded from warding off
sword cuts (a cut on the right humerus and two on the left first metacarpal; the
right fifth metacarpal was missing altogether), a sword blade had cut through
the right zygomatic arch, a thrust penetrated the left eye socket, a rapier or
dagger went through the neck into the base of skull, and a pair of thrusts had
damage the left sphenoid. The savage overkill suggests revenge as a motive
rather than simple murder or death in battle.
The scholars concluded that these were indeed the remains of Francisco
Pizarro. The two children might be Pizarro's sons who died young, the elderly
female is possibly the wife of Alc ntara, and the other elderly male Alc ntara.
The dried out body long thought to be Pizarro exhibited no sign of trauma as
would be expected if it was indeed the corpse of the conquistador. They decided
that the interloper was possibly a church official, and replaced the body with
the conquistador's bones in the glass sarcophagus.

ffive, 21/08:
Thanks for this interesting history site. I wonder if the several illiterate Blog(ger)s above can even contemplate the effort, energy and organisation shown by the Incas in creating their civilization. The greed and destruction wrought by the Conquistadors in SA is probably the most appalling act in history.
