Photos by @Robert Clark // It is always a really nice moment when you open your mailbox and see a copy of the @ナショナルジオグラフィック Magazine that contains a story that you have worked on. I usually find a quiet space to take my first look at the new article.
This story was a long one, several trips to Peru over a three-year period, we just had to keep going back because #GabrielPrieto and his team kept uncovering new finds.
1of7 The remains of two children perhaps a boy and a girl rest beside each other at a mass burial site on the aired coast of Northern #Peru. They were among the 269 children who were sacrificed and buries around 1450 C.E.at two sites near #ChanChan, the ancient capital of the Chimu people. Most of the victims were killed with a cut to the chest, possible to remove the heart, and buried in a simple shroud.

3of7 Fourteen-year-old Danila holds a baby alpaca near Huaylillas in the highlands of Northern Peru. Skeletal analysis of the sacrificed children reveals that they were between the ages of five and 14 and came from through the Chimu Empire, including the highlands.
4of7 Archaeologist #GabrielPrieto works with his team to uncover shallow graves at Huanchaquito. Soon after excavations concluded here, discoveries of a second child sacrifice site at nearby Pampa la Cruz.
5of7 Archaeology students at the National University of Trujillo prepare to clean and catalog skulls from the mass burial at Huanchaquito. The arid climate of Northern Peru naturally mummified many of the remains, which are unusually well preserved.
6of7 Hoofprints of young Llamas are preserved in a deep layer of mud around the grave of a sacrificed child.
