This is crazy...they're handling a fully intact young girl who was alive when Henry Vlll was king, in 1509...
Wow
PenelopeDinkledong S right!?!? This is amazing!!!!!!
Exactly
This comment really put it into perspective!!! 🤯🤯

Imagine carrying her and she bites a scientist's neck and brings back an old disease outbreak
J Mur 🤣🤣 I was thinking something similar
These are the types of thoughts that I have but when I hear them from other ppl it sounds extremely creepy and weird
you mean like a zombie mummy outbreak😂
J Mur the donzeya outbreak😂😳🤢🤒😷
you right HAHAHA
"It can also be due to stress"
I mean she was a child sacrifice
200th like
R/technicallythetruth
Oops, wrong comment
Felt that
Yeah she must've been quite stressed if you ask me.
Its so crazy that this was a living breathing person at one time. She laughed and talked and had a life. Now she is preserved 500 years later being studied. So crazy how things happen
yea its crazy these people dont have morals and enjoy disrespecting the dead
She is now present with the Lord, the real God who does not demand sacrifice but mercy. God does not condemn the innocent. A 15 year old girl being sacrificed to a false idol would be considered innocent.
@@jacksonrelaxin3425 all gods are false idols
@@jacksonrelaxin3425doesn't the bible god ask for sacrifices? In the old testament.
@@dread12059 they were sacrificing animals to a false god. Jesus elaborates on this in Matt. 12:7 where he states to the Pharisee, “if you knew what this means, ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.” With this we can assume that the real God never wanted any sacrifice. And how could he? He’s a spirit. What is a Spirit going to do with burned animals or virgins or piles of gold? This still baffles people today as the only thing we can actually do for God is to be good to each other. Would a little kid in a day care be able to do anything for the teacher or whoever’s in charge? No, other than getting along with other kids. That’s it.

The mummy, called La Doncella or The Maiden, is that of a teenage girl who died more than 500 years ago in a ritual sacrifice in the Andes Mountains. The girl and two other children were left on a mountaintop to succumb to the cold as offerings to the gods, according to the archaeologists who found the mummified remains in Argentina in 1999.
So sad

Scotlyn Ford how did she freeze?
@@onlysarimah9764 ever heard of Rigor Mortis? When you die you can't produce any energy for muscle fibers to relax as all the metbolic processes in your body cease. So whatever position you died in will be the position you stay in unless there is early intervention with their position. That's why this girl appears to be in a suspended animation because her muscles cannot relax without any energy produced from metabolism.

"Grey hair could be caused by stress"
Yeah, I'd say being a child sacrifice sounds pretty stressful.
Wel only a little bit
Your Favorite Claymation Penguin exactly what I was thinking...
Well I would guess so
Nah. They usually got the sacrifice so intoxicated they couldn't resist. They'd just go where they're lead
Actually before they’re sacrificed they’re really pampered. And it’s not like they don’t know what’s happening to themselves they’re practically chosen
ITS ALL FUN AND GAMES UNTIL SHE SMILES WHEN YOU TAKE HER PICTURE
I hope she is at peace, I feel sad and sorry for her. it is blowing my mind that she still looks like a living person after 500 years.
She was preserved so nicely, almost like she could just spring up and spook you. 😰
Somebody should replace her with a look alike that know how to sit perfectly still until the right moment comes.

Her heart was fully intact and still full of blood, her lungs still fully formed, her organs still in perfect condition, 500 years later!!
Unlike the Egyptian mummies.
Interesting
mummies were one of my first obsessions, and remember watching the documentary about the three kids, as well as other around the world, so returning to see the care and respect they gave her is heart-warming
Her parents: So this year your quincenera will be a bit different than the rest of your friends honey

"She's ageing a little bit less gracefully than the other mummies.." umm...I don't know what to say anymore..
It's because she was found with 2 others, and a few years before, they'd found a really well preserved one in Peru
Lmao
you can tell she was so beautiful while alive. she looks so at peace, despite the horrific way she died. she could never have knew what a scientific miracle she is.
She was drugged before she passed ;(
It doesn't feel like a mummy. It feels like a really child sleeping. The way that scientist carried that girl from one table to another gave me goosebumps. Can't believe this is a mummy

It's just how their culture works
If it makes you feel better she probably really wanted to do this and wasn't afraid or sad or pressured into it. Still doesn't make it right though.
If it makes you feel any better, we still kill children today and call it “My Body, My Choice”

That's actually scary imagine that

Edit: dang why did so many people like this? thanks tho!
I agree with you. Dead people are not people anymore.
The only reason it would matter to me to be buried is for my family once my family’s gone go for it ya know?

Why is the room so dark, like can't science afford some LED lights, for this lab of theirs 😂
I think it's because light destroys and breaks down particles. That's why is dim in museums and art galleries. She might get damaged and no scientist wants a sample/ancient artifact to get ruined with something so trivial.
Actually the whole museum she's in has this kind of low light. Specially where they display the 3 mummies.

There are 3 causes for grey hair to appear which is aging, stress and genetic factors.
That's really interesting, I couldn't get over how perfectly preserved she was after all those years. Hair looked as if it we braided only moments before. Its stuff like this that really gets the imagination running. Its like having a piece of the past (nearly) fully intact with us today.
15 years old though, that's very young to die. You don't even know what you are by that age, there's so much more to learn about. And to convince a child that she's dying for a greater cause is, well, I guess I shouldn't judge to hard. Belief is a very powerful force, and can cause people to do unspeakable things. I wonder if she and those other children offered them selves as a sacrifice to please some Deity. Maybe they were experiencing a drout, or plague, and to them a sacrifice was the only way to save their people.
I believe she rest in peace but the one's who killed her for whatever reason, may they never find rest and may demons haunt them every day
so true: belief is a very powerful force,, also she must have been so scared before dying
How many years she stayed like that?
@@SalomiSmit they didnt kill her she sacrificed herself for thier people

She’s beautiful. A miracle of natural mummification.
This is random but I wondered what happened to her parents/family and I wonder where are they buried??
Also I find it interesting that she has braids and that females to this day still have that type of hairstyle... That's so interesting to me... That style has been passed on for GENERATIONS
The next female mummy they find may have cornrows.
Dig deep my brother we are all from the middle of this earth, remember before our land masses split up the way they did it was all one land mass. We the black people are the true Hebrew Israelites and split off into all 4 corners of our earth. Her braided hair is our heritage. Pale skinned people (Caucasians) know who we are, they just do not want to accept who they are.. they come from us, they're just pale adaptations.

I really love seeing these relics from the distant past. It makes you wonder what she was thinking before she died. It also gives you a glimpse on what it was like back then. If her brain is still intact, and one day we have the tech, it'd be nice to extract those memories and turn it into a "movie" to see what she saw back then and to get a glimpse of the Inca civilization.
People who appreciate science and history would know the feeling and the reason why we don't just bury these ancient relics. I don't see anything bad about learning more about the past and how our modern civilization came to be.
Lol extract memories? You're kidding right? This isn't some assassins creed fairytale.
Nothing in physics say its impossible to extract memories from the brain, and I've read somewhere that it may be possible to extract memories from the brain as long as its intact.
Also last time I played AC, memories were "extracted" from the DNA not directly from the brain.
Unless you are the all knowing sage, then you win.
Its not a relic, its a human being

She seems so light the way he carried her
If you knew that you were going to be a sacrifice, you'd stress and get grey hair too😥
I'm pretty sure it's not just that. I'm pretty sure it's because before her sacrifice she had probably led a tough life, as most people did back then. Survival was hard no doubt. And she lived on a diet that may have not been that consistent, or the best. Plus, life was no doubt stressful and it is common for young people to have grey hairs.
I'm pretty sure my comment was meant to be sarcastic, however my educated guess is due to the elements and diet was her hair greyed.

@Phebe Bofay
Child sacrifice, referred to as capacocha was an important part of the Inca religion and was often used to commemorate important events, such as the death of a Sapa Inca. Human sacrifice was also used as offering to the gods in times of famine, and as a way of asking for protection
Sacrifice could only occur with the direct approval of the Inca emperor. Children were chosen from all over the sprawling Inca empire, and were picked primarily based on their "physical perfection". Children chosen for sacrifice were generally "sons and daughters of nobles and local rulers".
They were then taken hundreds or thousands of miles to Cusco, the capital, where they were the subject of important purification rituals. From there, the children were sent to high mountaintops throughout the empire to be sacrificed. According to traditional Inca belief, children who are sacrificed do not truly die, but instead watch over the land from their mountaintop perches, alongside their ancestors.
The Inca considered it a great honour to die as a sacrifice.
Humans are tragic and weird.
RIP young girl, wherever your soul is.
Imagine being fed and pampered and cared for, just to eventually meet a slow and awful death.

while it's still horrific, these children didn't actually die in a frightened, violent manner. To them it was an honour to be sacrificed, They weren't being 'fed' to the gods as such, but they believed that this was a sacred transition ritual to move on and live in Paradise. They were peasant children (researchers think) - and offered luxuries like lama meat and alcohol for a year before their death. They were selected. This is of course all just researched guesses from analysis, though, and still really sad.
How do you know they didn't die frightened? You can't speak for them.

@@homieo54 countries have slaves today, because it's their culture doesn't mean it's ok. I know things was different back then, doesn't mean someone can presume they wasn't scared, what kid wouldn't be frightened, I think most adults would be whether they thought they was meeting God or not.
@@SH-fz9dy even in the video they said something what i have said and i did some researches.
@@homieo54 but it was wrong
Yeah. I live in Salta, Argentina, where those mummies are in a museam. I think it's so bad to show dead children to everybody. After I went to that museam I didn't want to go there again.
Imagine if I’m related to her and me seeing her without knowing if she is related to me
Ok kpop stan..
voiceless Okay, voiceless.
voiceless why did you have to call her a “kpop Stan” there’s nothing wrong with it tf.
@Satanic Peach ok satanic peach
Leaveee the fans alonneee
"You just want to ask her a question. It feels like she will come back to answer your question."
That sent chills up my spine
😭😭 don't scare me
RUclips is so great... To have brought us all these things, and ofcourse thanks to camera and videography
I read somewhere that there are more bodies like these in that area, but to keep good relations with the indigenious people, no more excavations would be done.
How horrific. Nobody that young should die in such a way.
Imagine the impact she could have had on other people or the joy she could have brought if she were allowed to live
She was gonna be sacrificed to THE gods, so, and. Im pretty sure she wanted to aswell
This is such a nice and caring comment 🥺 her story is so sad
@@holidaypunch6621 not so sure....they gave them corn liquor (chicha) and coca leaves before they were led to the caves amd abandoned. Not so sure they went completely willingly
How is that horrific if she didn't suffer? she died quickly, nothing more, she just stoped existing. Why is dead so sad to all of you? it's not like they ripped her skin out like the aztecs did with some human sacrifices, or throw her from some high stairs to break everybone like mayas did. Incas were not that cruel lol
@@anapellegrini1764 how did she die?
If only we can bring her back to life...
That would be impossible
Probably in the next 500-2,000 years when science evolves.
@@libzbond She may find some more pros than cons to the humanity today though.
@@libzbond Humanity was bad when she was alive too though. Humans are just bad.
Thanks
This has been my comfort video for a long time for no apparent reason.
Poor girl didn't know she was not going to see the next morning for some science experiments
“It is very unusual for a 15 yr old to have grey hair” nah nah nah hunny I could become Jack Frost right now
Yes and the only time we've seen it so far is in the unusual case of mummified sacrifice.
I had my first silver hair when I was 7, it's not that unusual
