Some more of my favorite pictures from an Article in the February issue of the @ナショナルジオグラフィック. “An Unthinkable Sacrifice” tells the story of a shocking ritual sacrifice.
1of 7 The remains of two of the 269 victims of a child sacrifice during the rein of the Chimu people of Northwestern Peru.
2of7 A skull of a child recovered for a mass burial site near Trujillo, Peru.
3of7 The children were wrapped in a thin gauze shroud.
4of7 Some of the wall that remain of the city of #ChanChan. Ruled from this walled city, the Chimú kingdom was for two centuries the chief state in Peru. It extended approximately from Piura in the north to Paramonga in the south. Its economy was based on agriculture, which in that dry region was supported by irrigation ditches. The Chimú seem to have elaborated a system of social-class stratification. Craftsmen produced fine textiles and gold, silver, and copper objects.
Between 1465 and 1470 they came under Inca rule, apparently persuaded that Inca arms were invincible. Chimú historical and mythological traditions were recorded by Spanish writers after the conquest (c. 1532).
5of7 Over 150 Llamas were also sacrificed at the location.
6of7 One of the graves with hoove prints of Llamas in the background.
7of7 An in-situ close-up of one of the children found at the site. You will notice the severed bone at the bottom of the frame. All the children had a vertical cut into the breast bone which would leave the children to bleed out and was the cause of death.
Many thanks to @KurtMutchler the editor who made sense of my 22k frames. Also to thank you to the Scientific investigations of the international, interdisciplinary team, led by @GabrielPrieto of the #UniversidadNacionaldeTrujillo and #JohnVerano of #TulaneUniversity. #mummy #mummies #Peru #archeology #Inca #Chimu #ChanChan @atedge
