Description
Frozen Girl: The Discovery of an Incan Mummy
Preserved in ice for over half a millennium, this young girl's body holds secrets to understanding an ancient culture. Her story begins centuries ago, when she was chosen as the official sacrifice to a god.
A scientific inquiry unfolds as archaeologists uncover the mummified remains of a young girl buried in the frozen ground on Mount Ampato. The book explores how scientists pieced together clues to her identity and the theories behind her sacrifice. Evocative illustrations bring the girl and her culture to life, accompanied by photographs of the actual mummy.
