According to Hoaxorfact: The girl
pictured above was one among
the three frozen children who
were found from the 22,000-foot
summit of a volcano in Chilean
border called Mount Llullaillaco, in the year 1999.
This 15 year old frozen girl
named La Doncella, �the maiden,�
was being prepared by
Researchers at the Museum of
High Altitude Archaeology to
display it to the world. One of the museum�s designer and director
Gabriel E. Miremont said, "These
are dead people, Indian people".
Children were sacrificed like this
as a part of a religious ritual
called capacocha, where
beautiful and healthy children
including girls were chosen to be
frozen to death.
They were made to walk
hundreds of miles amidst
ceremonies and then taken to
the summit of Llullaillaco, where
they were fed with chicha (maize
beer), and once they felt asleep, they were placed in
underground niches where they
will freeze to death. The cold, dry
and thin air underground
preserved these bodies for
hundreds of years making them look real. The Inca people
practiced child sacrifice and
considered it as an honor to be
chosen for sacrifice, because
according to them, these children
did not die, but will have joined their ancestors who shall later
watch over their villages from the
mountain tops like angels. - See more at: http://bestwapcom.net/forum/showtopic.php?id=2867#sthash.MX0ct0eZ.dpuf
