Teenage girl 14-15 years old, who had sacrificed some 500 years ago, all of the last century lay on the ice at the top shestitysyachnika, contributing excellent safety.
Beside her frozen bodies of two more young victims: seven year old boy and six-year old girl. Instead of the traditional DNA researchers studied proteins in tissues and found that apparently healthy girl had a bacterial lung infection resembling tuberculosis. For the first time the infection was detected in mummies. research team from New York University (City University of New York), led by Angelica Kortels (Angelique Corthals) examined samples of mummies (known as Maiden, "Maid"),Unique mummy was discovered in 1999 flank of the volcano Lyulyaylyako (Llullaillaco), rising to 6739 meters above sea level on the border between Argentina and Chile. was found three mummies, which, in contrast to the embalmed Egyptian "colleagues" were deep-frozen. The body has also undergone a seven year old boy studying, but explore the remains of a six-year girl, scientists still are not solved. Perhaps once it was struck by lightning, which could affect the accuracy of the results of the study. Rather, the three children were sacrificed, as evidenced by being close to them artifacts of gold, silver, clothes, bowls with food and extravagant headdress of white feathers unknown birds. Historians suggest that the children were selected by the Incas for their beauty (in addition, children were considered more pure beings than adults) and sacrificed. Inca is not often brought children to sacrifice. B Previous studies have established that before sacrifice them, throughout the year, children were fed "elite" foods - maize and dried llama meat, though before that they were eating exclusively a peasant food, consisting potatoes and vegetables.
