ABSTRACT

El Tumi es un instrumento ceremonial semejante a un cuchillo con mango de forma rectangular o trapezoidal utilizado antiguamente en el Perú Precolombino. En la actualidad es un símbolo que forma parte del logotipo del Colegio Médico del Perú. Anteriormente se creía generalmente que el Tumi era utilizado principalmente para la realización de trepanaciones craneales, pero, posiblemente, su uso principal era para decapitar a los prisioneros de guerra. Nos enteramos de su existencia cuando un tumi se encontró por primera vez en Huaca Las Ventanas (un sitio arqueológico), ubicado en Batán Grande, comunidad de Poma, en Lambayeque, a finales de 1936 por el profesor Julio C. Tello. estos restos proceden desde 700- 1300 d.C.


The tumi (too-mee) is a ceremonial instrument resembling a knife with a rectangular or trapezoid handle used in ancient times in Peru. Now it is a symbol in the logo of the Peruvian Colege of Physicians. It was usually thought that the tumi was mainly used for performing cranial surgery, but possibly its main use was for beheading war prisioners. We learned of its existence when a tumi was first found in Huaca Las Ventanas (an archeological site), located in Batan Grande, Poma community in Lambayeque, at the end of 1936 bye Professor Julio C. Tello. The first tumi was dated somewhere between 700 to 1300 A.D.
