According to a Live Science report, bioarchaeologist Sara Juengst of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and her colleagues uncovered the 1,200-year-old burial of a woman at the Manteño site of Buen Suceso, which is located near the coast of Ecuador. Examination of the bones revealed that the woman was between the ages of 17 and 20, and between seven and nine months pregnant, at the time of her death. It was also determined that the woman had suffered skull fractures, and that her hands and left leg had been violently removed. The head of another person between the ages of 25 and 35 had been placed near the woman's shoulder in the burial. Cockle shells had been placed on the woman's eyes, a crab claw had been placed on her abdomen, and ornaments made of Spondylus mollusk shells and three obsidian blades had been placed around her body. Some of the mollusk shell ornaments were found to be 2,000 years older than the burial itself. Dating of a burnt item found on her chest suggests that it was an offering put in the grave several hundred years later. Juengst and her colleagues think that the woman may have been sacrificed during an El Niño event due to her fertility, noting that artifacts included in the burial may have been chosen to evoke watery environments. Her death could also have been politically motivated, however. "If a rival of this woman wanted to take over, they would need to eliminate her and her unborn offspring, but also still give her honor based on her status," Juengst explained.

Woman's burial, Manteno, EcuadorSara Juengst
All cultures are equal?
Neither Epstein nor Hillary were alive then. So who did this?
Not much left after all these years. I’m almost certain she was a nice woman. Who could argue with that?
With all of those possibilities listed it is also possible that the man who knocked her up did not want children nor marriage/child support.
Was the severed head placed in the grave beside her intended to give her honor?
Who contributed the 2000-year-old shell ornaments?
Who dug up the grave several hundred years later and contributed the burnt offering? Why?
The remains of Helen Thomas have been found?
Botched abortion.
Message from the Cartels...
“Some of the mollusk shell ornaments were found to be 2,000 years older than the burial itself.”
An I can’t find things I bought last week.
Were these people packrats? Handed down their precious ornaments for 2,000 years?
ah, yes, the “noble” savages who were just living in peace and harmony singing koom-bye-ya in the garden of Eden until evil whitey showed up.
I searched for pictures and found this other picture attached to the article.
Guilty?
Probably found on the beach.
Looks like a pacifier in the mouth.
Obviously.
I’m thinking the head in her grave is the infant’s father.
He just didn’t happen to be her husband.
She wasn’t killed because she was revered; there’s going to be a big uptick in feminazi interpretations during this part of the year.
Yes, that is more likely.
Everything you cited were exceptional actions taken but that last fact was really over the top. To keep the memory of whoever she was and whatever happened to her alive that long is incredible.
The story behind it all must have been amazing.
We have government funded dismemberment of babies and a cult of trannies that cut up and murder people, not much different.
