RESEARCHERS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF WARSAW AND THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF SANTA MARÍA HAVE RECONSTRUCTED THE FACE OF AN INCA GIRL SACRIFICED NEAR THE CRATER OF AMPATO, A DORMANT VOLCANO IN THE ANDES OF SOUTHERN PERU.
The frozen remains of the girl were discovered by archaeologists in 1995 at a height of 6,318 metres above sea level. She was found wrapped in a bundle that had fallen from an Inca site due to recent ice melt. At the time, the researchers name her “Lady of Ampato,” who had been sacrificed on the summit around 500 years ago to the Inca gods.
Child sacrifice, referred to as capacocha or qhapaq hucha, was an important part of the Inca religion. The Inca believed that the sacrificed children do not truly die, but instead watch over the land from their mountaintop perches alongside their ancestors.
