“A 14 year old girl walking 1000 miles knowing she is going to die” happy music

I heard in another documentary that she had some gray hairs - - indication of great stress in one so young.

"Knowing that she's going to die"

[@wildyoda2931]

she looks like she was waiting for someone to come. While she covered herself from the cold. This really makes me sad because no one found her until 500 years later she must have been lonley and scared r.i.p

I've been very impressed with the animation quality of this series

[@kelseyclemons8881]

Just think, this is the closest we will ever get to actually seeing someone who lived hundreds of years ago.

[@elsakristina2689]

She's so beautiful, she looks like she's only sleeping...

I wish I can go back in time and just observe what happened.

Anyone else think of the Emperors New Groove movie every time he says Kusco? Lol

[@genissefranklin796]

"She didn't go to give the offering. She WAS the offering."

The virgins of the sun had a choice to return to their families or continue in their monasteries where they were educated and regarded highly by the society. This person was drugged with coca and alcohol before the sacrifice.

It's mind-blowing, she really is beautiful and extremely well preserved, I'm glad that the museum has treated this carefully. Sometimes in the 1900's, Mummies were ground up and drank or used to display and seprate at parties like a gift.

the history of my ancestors are really interesting but also horrifying

[@shilde]

On one hand I admire and envy the spiritual depth and knowledge of our ancients but I’ll never for the life of me be able to understand why human sacrifice ever made sense. This girl was beautiful. I hope she was greeted by pure light and warmth when she died.

Peruvians still look like this. It’s crazy how strong there blood is my daughter is half Peruvian and u can just tell by just looking at her. Nothing of me. But they’re are very proud people and she dances altagualpa too 🙂

[@pengensehat6934]

She died peacefuly...she had good and pure heart...thats why the earth kept her well preserved...

She is giving her life for the people. They should at least have paid for a taxi to the mountain

[@sarahschmidt4217]

It said that the sacrifices must have charisma. That already gives clues into this girls personality. She had strength and loyalty.That only makes me appreciate her more. Unfortunately she had to die for it, but without her, we wouldn’t have much knowledge of her peoples history, so that is a honorable position for her in itself. She represents her people.
