What makes it so fantastic is not just the bodies themselves, but also the wealth of works of art that was buried along with them: 36 gold and silver statues, small woven bags, pottery, a small camel figure and seashell necklaces. Reinhard said, “One of the girls has a beautiful yellow, geometrically designed cover laid over her. ”Her head wears a feather and a golden mask. Some of the bodies were surrounded with food wrapped in camel skin, which indicates that the children came from the Incan social leadership—not surprising, since only people of high status would have been considered worthy of sacrifice. Little is known about the sacrificial ceremony itself; these objects, along with others found at the lower camp, should tell archaeologists plenty.
The preserved bodies, meanwhile, will give scientists a look at Incan physiology(生理学)firstly. The Argentina military took them away to the nearby town of Salta. There, experts will analyze their organs for information about their diet and their DNA to try and establish their relationship to other racial groups. Reinhard will head back into the mountains. There is no telling how many more bodies remain to be found.
