John Simkin Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 How old is the girl in the photograph? I will give the answer tomorrow. I will give a year’s free membership of the Forum for the person who comes closest to the right answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Simkin Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 Sorry for the delay in answering. My internet connection has been down for a couple of days. The girl is actually 500 years old. Three Inca children, two girls and a boy aged between 6 and 15, were left to die at the top of Llullaillaco, a mountain in the Andes in the early part of the 15th century. Apparently this was part of some human sacrifice ritual. The bodies were found during a recent expedition on the 22,000-foot (6,700m) mountain. A combination of high altitude, low oxygen, humidity levels, zero-degree temperatures has enabled the bodies to be perfectly preserved. You will see some interesting answers to my question here: http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=5004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
