I came across this picture of what looks to be a frozen little girl. I had to check it out. This remarkably well preserved child is called the “Llullaillaco Maiden”. She was a ritualistic sacrifice for the Inca Empire. Apparently she was chosen among others, one year before her demise. After they were chosen they were fed very well, a ritualistic diet one might say, to help her gain weight. Apparently gods like a little more cushion. She was then drugged and left on a shrine at Volcano Llullaillaco to die from exposure. There she sat for 500 Years undisturbed. I especially love how everything is so well put together. It's amazing how well preserved the little girl is. In the video you can actually see single strands of hair. She looks as if she died a week ago, not 500 years!
