A burial site at 22, 000 feet is giving scientists the best look at horrible Incan sacrificial ceremonies. By modern standards, the dangerous peak of Mount Llullaillaco, in the Argentina Andes, is no place for kids. The ancient Inca saw things differently though, some 500 years ago, three children arrived at the slopes of the
22, 000 feet peak. The three had spent time at the 17, 000 feet level, taking part in some ceremonies that can only be guessed at. Then, accompanied by a group of adults, they moved steadily upward. They would not return. Once at the peak, the children—two girls and a boy, between 8 and 15 years old—would be ceremonially sacrificed and buried beneath 5 feet of broken rocks. They might even have been buried alive.
And there the story might have ended but for the tireless efforts of Johan Reinhard, an independent archaeologist(考古学家)funded by the National Geographic Society. Reinhard’s specialty is climbing up the Andes in search of sacrificial remains; he had already located 15 bodies, including the famed ice maid he found in 1995. But these three, whose discovery he announced last week, are by far the most impressive. They were frozen solid within hours of their burial. Two of the bodies are almost perfectly preserved; the third was damaged by lightning. The children’s inside organs are not only undamaged but also still contain blood. Craig Morris, an expert at New York City’s American Museum of Natural History, said, “It is truly a fantastic discovery. ”
