How Do We Know This Incan Mummy Died Peacefully?

Her expression is calm, with no signs of a struggle. Could this Inca maiden have been given alcohol to ensure a calm death?

[@c_king1031]

I agree. Set up as she is, she could be just any other extremely well preserved mummy. At least with her white feather headdress, it would be immediately understood that she was considered high status. And if it's too heavy for her remains to support, at least display it in the case with her so that you see both together. This poor child was basically slaughtered (I don't care how gentle suffocation is when you're under the influence at high altitudes) to keep some gods happy...

Many religions are centered around dying for a god, Christianity is the only one centered on God dying for you. It is a completely and totally distinct religion where God is kind, forgiving, loves you, and is working everything together to the point He can walk in person with us again on a new earth that is without sin and shame. To explain, God and humans (Adam and eve) walked together in the garden of Eden at the beginning of the world, but since they sinned, and God and sin cannot exist together, we are separated from God unless we repent of our sins and accept Jesus as Lord of our lives (meaning we live to do His will, instead of doing what we want, which is the only way to find real meaning in life, and I and everyone in this world and probably you too, have tried to find meaning in everything else and have bren unable too.).

Everyone is quick to attack the outdated practices of ancient civilizations when they’re people of color or “indias” or “savages”, but no one wants to talk about ancient Irish tribal sacrifices that were violent? Or the ancient Greek relationships that were between men and small boys? Or perhaps the sacrifices of Iron Age Britain? Yes we can criticize the past, but it is THE PAST.

I was in Arequipa spring 2022 and went to see Jaunita. Several things stood out for me. First was getting my head around this accepted cultural practice intellectually. Many of these little children (4,5,6 year olds) were brought to Cusco by their parents in hopes they would be chosen for this "honor". My understanding is that the families of chosen children were rewarded by an elevation of their family status within their communities. Motivation I suppose? The other thing that this video doesn't mention but was very clear at the museum.....Jaunita's head was bashed in on one side. They contend that she wasn't quite dead when she was placed in her grave, and that they ended her life before burying her. But she was certainly drugged and hyperthermic by this time and certainly suffering from altitude sickness. Coca is still ingested today to alleviate the symptoms.

They have the priest basically in his underwear. At 22,000 feet? No, I don’t think so Smithsonian channel. They would have been bundled up. Not running around like he-man

[@Antikuy]

Yeah, the priest is a chimu I think, they were people from the desert so that explains the clothes, but I don't think is right to put a chimu priest on an inca sacrifice ceremony, even considering that the chimus were conquered by the incas, their sacrifice methods were very different.

[@abrilmendez-jara5077]

see a lot of people here commenting on how it was horrible that they killed her and how much pain she would have been feeling One. She according to her people was a chosen one from the gods and had to be sacrificed they treated her as a god Two. They drugged her therefore she felt no pain Three. She believes in this and belief is stronger than pain sometimes, knowing where she was going she was probably peaceful judging her face expression and the way she was found And four. Don’t compare the Mexica or Aztec human sacrifices to the Incan ones The Mexica or Aztec ones where sacrifices with a spear to the heart of a person because if they didn’t they believed that if the world would end And the Incas had a whole different religion! Just because she wasn’t buried in a pyramid doesn’t mean she wasn’t loved by her people

[@licevegquintero94]

Finally someone that knows how to use their brain correctly thank you Abril Mendez-Jara

[@jennifermoriarty2188]

Im sure on a basic human level there was some anixety.... especially as it neared..why the drug increase... but that's normal. These killings were far kinder than aztec and mayan...and the best were given up to please gods instead of stabby stab...

[@bexinthebox]

Shame they don’t know how to use punctuation 🤯

[@HKrisaH]

Incas do abuse, conquer, and of course killed and even eaten human meat of weak villages that opposed to obey. Inca empire was one to love battle and expand his domains. there are several history evidence that Spain free those abused villages cooperating with them to end inca empire, thats why still nowadays you can see multiple ethnicities. things didnt happen like history told by england conquers that kicked out spanish colonies told. there still lot of myths and romanticize of incan civilization.

[@Gabrielle56743]

Many religions are centered around dying for a god, Christianity is the only one centered on God dying for you. It is a completely and totally distinct religion where God is kind, forgiving, loves you, and is working everything together to the point He can walk in person with us again on a new earth that is without sin and shame. To explain, God and humans (Adam and eve) walked together in the garden of Eden at the beginning of the world, but since they sinned, and God and sin cannot exist together, we are separated from God unless we repent of our sins and accept Jesus as Lord of our lives (meaning we live to do His will, instead of doing what we want, which is the only way to find real meaning in life, and I and everyone in this world and probably you too, have tried to find meaning in everything else and have bren unable too.). All things leading to the point we walk together with God and the other ppl who loved Christ on that new earth without sin and shame.

FYI: The white feather crown was sold to, and is now in the possession of a drug lord.

[@alphagamingwolf1845]

what is the song called when it shows her being buried by the priest and i believe she had to have lived a glorious life to be sacraficed and to die with such honor

[@zuzannabrzeszczak1578]

The crown needs to go back on her head (if it isn't already).

[@as1111]

" died peacefully without violence" yeah she was just brutally murdered by intoxication and affixiation... and probably buried still alive... no violence in this...

[@f_society1550]

Violence definition:behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone She died a slowly and peaceful death being intoxicated and with the lack of oxygen would've made her unaware that she was slowly dying she just fell asleep and died, a very peaceful way to die in my opinion, with NO violence the intoxication was not poison it was alcohol and the lack of air only made her more drowsy. Strangling her or choking her to death would be a *violent* form of affixiation and might I add she went there willingly she wasn't force to her it was a great honor to die for the gods so yes *No violence*

[@UnorthodoxTexan]

She believe her death was a great honor and so did her people. Before her death she was treated as a goddess and took part in many ceremonies with the Incan emperor herself. No one there not even herself believed her death to be cruel. She died the way any young woman in that time would want to die.

[@cha5]

Queen Daily Whereas the other children buried with her especially the boy didn’t die as willingly or peacefully, there was evidence of what would have been an agonizing struggle on his part.

[@AnkitaMalviya108]

I could be wrong in understanding but i thought they since she is out of freezing place now... the mummy will now start rottening. (Excuse me for wrong english)

[@barbarahunter2425]

They did say she was starting to rot

[@kimberlypowell4435]

Some say they were carried there n some say they walked 1000 miles to their journey...if others carried her up there how did they survive the altitude? Just wondering

[@franko.1950]

1000 miles is way off the scale : A long walk, but not that long. About the altitude: it´s not impossible for people who are well adapted: once, I was in a car at 16 000 feet above sea level, wondering how can those people walk in THAT snow with so that level of oxygen. But there they were, almost smiling.

[@kattkatt5564]

I live 7,000 feet above sea level. I know of people who wanted to live here but couldn’t due to the lower oxygen level.

[@ellakersey1214]

I think it's presumptuous of us to assume she walked or was carried all at once. I think this trip probably would have taken weeks. It is my understanding that people who summit Mt. Everest make camp at different elevations for a few days to acclimate themselves to the air at each point. I would think this would have been a similar process.

[@roguephoenix]

Their sacrifice then was useless but now they are priceless

[@colby9529]

the it's brighter here always comes at the worst time 🤣

[@Rezina_with_a_Z]

Know that It was a belief back then and now she is eternal.. We know that her mummy will be preserved for so so so many years.. I'm not mad at the rituals. It's something every generation had like today there is cremation and burying which is also a ritual...bdw Look how beautiful she is..

[@bbvanztv]

Sad 😢

[@fruitsalad4763]

Do y'all see that? They bothered her during some good sleep. She got creases on her face.

[@slidezone9056]

And now she's on permanent display for people to pay to gawk at. Why was this not considered to be grave robbing?

The crown should’ve been put in the case with her, because she basically gave her life just for some god. She was 14 years old and she should be honored with the crown

[@BigDaddy-vr2ut]

Hey man .. But was it really what science has said it was ? A ritualistic sacrifice? Or Was she a sacrifice at all? Or did she die of the treatment she received people gave her, because she was in awful pain because she had TB . They probably loaded her up on alcohol and coco as a pain reliever .. because of the tuberculosis? Then when she died they brought her to the atop of the mountain. It took the people probably 2 week to bring her there after she died. Along with the other 2 or 3 children she was found with. Did any of them have TB as well? But never mind about all that. , What the heck is that omen all about ? That lightning strikes to the face all about though?? And. How could lightning strike her in the face , if she was buried alive ?
