A mummified foot that has been on display in the museum for many years recently came to the attention of officials at the Peruvian Embassy in Argentina. They said the skeletal object has significant scientific importance for Peru.

Officials later found a video showcasing the mummy’s foot on YouTube and decided to launch a raid on the museum. As well as seizing the foot, the authorities also confiscated fossils, ceramic fragments and pottery items that are believed to have been brought to Argentina from Peru.
