洪都拉斯考古学家声称发现了中美洲前哥伦比亚玛雅文明时期一个国王的遗体，同时，秘鲁考古学家在Machu Picchu发现了一具木乃伊，以及随葬的大量珍贵的陶器。

Honduran archeologists believe they have found the remains of a king of Central America's pre-Colombian Mayan civilization. Meanwhile, Peruvian archaeologists have uncovered a mummy in Machu Picchu, buried with a number of valuable pieces of pottery.

The skeleton thought to belong to the king was discovered in the Temple Oropendola, in the Mayan ceremonial center of Acropolis in Copan, western Honduras.

The remains correspond to those of a man over the age of 30 measuring between 1.54 and 1.67 meters tall. The Temple of Oropendola dates back to between 550 and 700 A.D.

Archeologists have concluded the remains belong to one of the first kings from the Copan dynasty.

A teenage mummy, along with a valuable collection of Incan pottery, was discovered in a tomb in Machu Picchu recently, Peru's National Institute of Culture announced on Tuesday.

The discovery was made by archaeologists when they were doing restoration work on a drainage system.

Scientists said the mummy could be from a person aged between 14 and 16 years. Although some of the bones had disintegrated, others were still intact. The teeth showed signs of moderate dental attrition, indicating the individual included grain as part of his diet.

The pieces of pottery were found in the tomb of the individual, buried some 40 centimeters underground. They included an undecorated domestic pot, a red drinking glass, a pot with a picture of a snake on it, a broken plate and a fragment of a copper needle.

The body was exhumed and taken to an anthropological lab for further analysis.
