Mummy of Inca Girl Sacrificed to the Corn God

A museum in Salta, Argentina has the well preserved mummy of an Inca Girl sacrificed to the corn gods on display. Many native groups are opposed to the display and want her buried.

This we preserved specimen shows us what life was like in pre-columbian days. The mighty Inca empire stretched from Argentina to Peru. It was one of the biggest empires in the world. A strange mystery is that this mighty empire did not use the wheel. It has been found in childrens toys, but no practical use was made.

Also although llamas were used as pack animals, they did not pull sleds or carry people.
