Many of the 33 mummies uncovered near Chiclayo, Peru, were those of girlsa rarity, experts say. Their throats slit, the girls were probably killed in a bid for agricultural fertility.
Research into 33 mummies discovered in Peru has revealed most of the bodies were girls, most likely sacrificed in the belief their deaths would bring fertility to the peoples farmlands.
Utah Valley University professor Haagen Klaus is an expert in bio-archaeology and has been examining the human remains found in 2007 at the Chotuna Huaca, a site located north east of Chiclayo, Peru.

Museumgoers in Argentina gasped at the well-preserved mummy of an Inca maiden which is on display for the first time, a serene gaze etched on her face hundreds of years ago when she froze to death in the Andes.

Their throats slit, the girls were probably killed in a bid for agricultural fertility. As good a reason as any other, I suppose.

Sad indeed, the way those people looked at their world.
Well, we may be faced with that insane line of thought soon, we seem to be headed that way, at least looking at the way some people voted!

As I understand it, freezing to death can be a rather peaceful passing. I imagine having someone slit one’s throat is much less so.

Big deal, 33 girls sacrificed. We’ve killed millions and millions and millions in this country by abortion. Talk about your ritualistic sacrifices....

Haagen Klaus, Anthropologist, Utah Valley University: "This is something, of course, very non-Western. And in the cosmological vision here, kids, children are not human beings because human life comes from mountains. And when a child is born, a child is likened to a wild uncontrollable mountain spirit." Imagine the ramifications in addition to sacrifice for fertility.

Sick savage bastards. They knew her,,, saw her as a little girl,,
These are the types that the modern liberal loves as they chase their new age crap, and worship at Machu Pichu.

You said — Id take the second one anytime. Freezing to death takes longer and judging by the average winter wind its no walk in the park.

Ummm..., I don’t know about that one. I understand that people just get tired and sleepy and doze off to sleep and then freeze... :-)
I almost did that one myself, one time, got really tired and wanted to rest and close my eyes a bit. But, if you do that, you don’t wake up again. I kept going, instead, and resisted the urge to just rest a bit (you know..., it was like feeling really tired and wanting a quick nap or something...). If I had given in to that one..., I wouldn’t be here, today, typing on this computer... :-)

Why multi-culturalism that tries to equate all cultures is absurd! Western civilization was built on the foundation of the Catholic Church. Faith and Reason, philosophy, arts, sciences, charities, colleges and universities, hospitals, and the Augustinian theory of just war. Mayan and under Third World cultures are candidates for the toilet flush.
To: JoeProBono
Not to make light of this atrocity, but this is eerily similar to our policies...

In the minds of our Marxist indoctrinators all cultures are created equal.

I am sorry, sir, but that explanation is no longer operative. It's been replaced by: "Palin's fault".
Thank you for your cooperation.

I had some experiences as a child with the cold in Michigan. I remember shivering so hard that the muscles hurt...Even after getting in the house to warm up...No freezing or burning for me....slit my throat, its quick and painless.. Its the thinking about it that brings up fear..

"...most likely sacrificed in the belief their deaths would bring fertility to the peoples farmlands."
If they believe the society was capable of killing their kids for profit then they were most likely raped and killed by the community elders for self gratification.
