Five hundred years ago she was dressed in fine clothes, given corn alcohol to drink, and left on a mountain in the Andes to die as a sacrifice. “La Doncella” (Spanish for “the Maiden") a 15-year-old girl whose remains are nearly perfectly preserved is now on display in a museum in Salta, Argentina.

Scientists believe the so-called Children of Llullaillaco were sacrificed more than 500 years ago in a ceremony marking the annual corn harvest. Dressed in fine clothes and given corn alcohol to put them to sleep, the victims were then left to die at an elevation of 22,080 feet. The mummy is kept in a chamber that pumps chilled air through a low-oxygen atmosphere, simulating the subfreezing conditions where it was found. The other two children are being studied and not on display. (news.yahoo)
