People made a discovery during restoration work at one of Peru¡¯s earliest Christian sites, the Saint Francis of Assisi Temple.

Buried deep inside this centuries-old crypt that archaeologists accidentally stumbled upon, are human bones that could total up to 32 complete skeletons.

The remains are in bad condition after hundreds of years¡¯ worth of disturbances at the site. Archaeologists say that the crypt, which is thought to be more than 500 years old, was used as a burial site for early believers. A mural of the Christian nativity scene, which people believe is part of the original decoration at the temple, was also found.

Difficult words: stumble (find something by chance), disturbance (activity), mural (a painting on a wall), nativity scene (a model which represents the birth of Jesus Christ).y
