Lexilina: That's what we'd all like to think. However bravely she & others faced their fate, in REALITY, religion & cultural pressures aside, she WAS a human being, a CHILD, and one whom, almost certainly, felt deep fear & dread inside, naturally, not wishing to have to be sacrificed/killed, only wishing to be allowed to continue to live, given the choice.
I live in Peru and I can tell you that in Cusco nowadays is too rare to find a woman with white hairs. So i guess in the ancient ages It would be impossible. Sorry for my english
Here in Asia it's normal to find kids with grey hair. Heck when I was a lil secondary schooler , the other kids around me had them all the time . I had quite a few myself .
she looks like she was waiting for someone to come. While she covered herself from the cold. This really makes me sad because no one found her until 500 years later she must have been lonley and scared r.i.p
Wild Yoda I read a book on this she was poisoned then buried in that position by the priest apparently she died peacefully with no pain but who knows how accurate that is
You can tell how terrified she was because she was only like 12 but had white hairs. Although, she was probably comforted by the fact it was such an honor. But kinda sad ngl.
Their concept of death was not what yours is. It was a great honour and they believed they weren't really going to die but to watch over the tribe in a very special way.
The virgins of the sun had a choice to return to their families or continue in their monasteries where they were educated and regarded highly by the society. This person was drugged with coca and alcohol before the sacrifice.
It's mind-blowing, she really is beautiful and extremely well preserved, I'm glad that the museum has treated this carefully. Sometimes in the 1900's, Mummies were ground up and drank or used to display and seprate at parties like a gift.
On one hand I admire and envy the spiritual depth and knowledge of our ancients but I’ll never for the life of me be able to understand why human sacrifice ever made sense. This girl was beautiful. I hope she was greeted by pure light and warmth when she died.
Human sacrifice was done all over this earth. The reason can be found in the Bible. Satan demands blood thus people who thought Satan was a god gave him humans.
I think there's a lot of nuance to it that maybe modern day people don't understand, but to these people they weren't just rituistically killing a child. They were sending her to a new life. Human sacrifice was seen as an honor for some, but even more so it was seen as a necessity. We were so much more vulnerable to the whims of nature, and since the gods were present in nature it was very important to appease them to ensure survival. We kind of take for granted how comfortable our lives are now
@@NeerajRajput1990 yes everyone did some sort of human sacrifice. During the crusades millions were killed/sacrificed in the name of Jesus Christ. During the Islamic wars many killed in the name of Allah.
Peruvians still look like this. It’s crazy how strong there blood is my daughter is half Peruvian and u can just tell by just looking at her. Nothing of me. But they’re are very proud people and she dances altagualpa too 🙂
Just to let you know that we the Peruvians come in different size and colors: there are white, black, Asian, mestizo and indigenous Peruvians. The type that you talk about is the indigenous ones who are descendants of the Incas.
Inca sacrifices were extremely rare and only saved for moments of great peril like eartquakes or extreme famine, no more than 10 of these sacrifices have been confirmed, and althought they did sacrifice the most beautiful woman of the group when it actually happened, most of the Sun Virgins were simply priests or married into nobility.
It said that the sacrifices must have charisma. That already gives clues into this girls personality. She had strength and loyalty.That only makes me appreciate her more. Unfortunately she had to die for it, but without her, we wouldn’t have much knowledge of her peoples history, so that is a honorable position for her in itself. She represents her people.
As part incan, I know some of our beliefs and traditions were wrong but the Spanish colonizing makes no difference. They invaded all of South America and destroyed the incan empire, not to mention they stole all our treasures, raped innocent children and killed anybody of incan blood. It just isn’t fair. Both sides would be wrong.
Today's Latin America is the result of the mix of two cultures: the European (Spanish, Portuguese) and the Indigenous. Don't blame one of your parents.
@RXI _ Conquering is not what makes one human. It is inclusion which makes us human. Conquering or the need for domination is due to a higher representation of the masculine. If there were more women leaders then the feminine will create a balance for the nature of the masculine. This is also one of the reasons we need to empower more women leaders and instead of replicating how men do things, should emphasize her own nature of inclusion. We really need this balance in the world. So no conquering is not the nature of human beings.

@@elenavs8703 It's safe to say they both were equally as "developed" as that is a pretty subjective term based on the society one was raised in.

Well, in many cases the "victim" was willing. She believed that she was special and that their gods would take mercy upon their people if she sacrificed herself
Some people say modern celebrity culture is a new form of human sacrifice. At first they are also rigorously selected and then celebrated like Gods and then a lot of them end up dying miserable deaths.
To clarify, this form of sacrifice was used to freeze-dry their god-leaders. This was the highest honour in their culture. They did this to their Kings and Leaders when they passed. Their bodies ,when frozen, were brought back to Incan cities to partake in political affairs and religious ceremonies in death. This 'victim' thought that she would become immortalised and claim a seat amongst her gods. This was more than likely willing.
Many religions are centered around dying for a god, Christianity is the only one centered on God dying for you. It is a completely and totally distinct religion where God is kind, forgiving, loves you, and is working everything together to the point He can walk in person with us again on a new earth that is without sin and shame. To explain, God and humans (Adam and eve) walked together in the garden of Eden at the beginning of the world, but since they sinned, and God and sin cannot exist together, we are separated from God unless we repent of our sins and accept Jesus as Lord of our lives (meaning we live to do His will, instead of doing what we want, which is the only way to find real meaning in life, and I and everyone in this world and probably you too, have tried to find meaning in everything else and have bren unable too.). All things leading to the point we walk together with God and the other ppl who loved Christ on that new earth without sin and shame.
You have taught me so much. You made me care about these extraordinary creatures and the environment with the amazing films you share with us. Thank you so much David.
I'm happy to hear she was drugged in her last moments. I'm sure it was extremely traumatic to go through this. At least if she was gonna die, she went out in a blaze of glory. Coca leaves and alcohol are an iconic duo.
can yall stop being so sensitive understand that this is how it was back then and its very different now. both my parents are fully peruvian and i was talking to my dad about this and he said yea they were very strongly devoted to their religion and it was very different back then sooooo yall can chill😂😂.
The sacrifice was considered an honor. She didn't die in a state of distress everything suggests otherwise. She succumbed to cold and did not die a painful death. She died in an unconscious state. However, the boy found alongside her had a more rough death.
@@kingkoi6542 put an 'end' to religious human/animal sacrifice by killing millions of people in the name of another god you mean lol there is no difference
The girl was the maiden’s half sister. The boy was unrelated to either and was probably a commoner intended to serve the girls in their afterlife with the gods.
Feathers are symbols/gifts from angels or gods. If you see a feather pick it up and find out what the pattern/color/shape of it, it all has a meaning behind it from our spirit guides
Feathers come from birds. Seeing a feather doesn't mean you have "been blessed" by some mystical deity in heaven. It means you are in an area that's a proper habitat for birds. They fly around, get in fights with each other, and lose their feathers.
This is really upsetting as i have a 10yr old girl and cannot image doing this to her, what an evil act that was done to this poor little girl/children, really sad...SHAME!!!
Inca culture always fascinating to fit their own sun cosmology at that ancient time ❤ nor torture or killing their own people but understand it that way
23 & Me gives some different results compared to Ancestry DNA. For instance, 23 & Me said that I am 20% Irish. However, Ancestry said that I am 20% Scottish with records to prove it. Bear that in mind.
This whole story is bittersweet…she was sacrificed for her beauty and rank. Which would have been a noble thing…but if she wasn’t sacrificed we wouldn’t know much of her people. To me, this story combines both spirituality and science…because what was a spiritual honorable sacrifice than is astounding and remarkable scientific discovery now…
Her self sacrifice didn't actually do anything. Her sacrifice didn't make crops grow and didn't stop natural disasters from happening. So, while her intentions may be considered noble with what wasn't known at the time, in reality, her death didn't help her people. However, like you said, hundreds of years later, scientists and archaeologists are learning about the past from her corpse and the objects buried with her.
What an honorable death. We get sad she is so young, but her life was very important. Even if it seems crazy to us today, all of her people honored her where as a micro-fraction of our people care when we die.
They need to put her back. You are never supposed to touch the ancient ones. These archeologist take so many indigenous artifacts which without asking or consulting to the tribes. In many tribes, we have traditional and natural laws. You don’t take what doesn’t belong to you. you’ll pay for the consequences meaning spirit, and etc will follow you back or worst the gods will take back what is theirs. A lot of these archeologists don’t understand traditional stories or teachings or anything about indigenous culture. They don’t know what will happened.
Picture the mother giving away her child in 6-8 years old (as the authors comment these offerings could be) ...giving her away for good. Despite the honor and “the blaze of glory” this must have been so heartbreaking (((
I feel like she is going to open her eyes and wondering about where she is.then she will start crying and missing her parents, my own imagination just making me emotional.
Do you have records to prove that? No offense, but many people claim to be the descendants of famous people, but there's no objective proof of their claims.
They were raised for this from birth...... they knew it would come one day. Their family would be honored as she would be. It was an "honor" to be given to the gods. Myself ? Not going to lie, I would have probobly been scared out of my mind. Even if youdidn't want to die, you had no say in the matter at all, you were even guarded until time. In short you wee doomed.
Agreed, at some point, survival instinct would kick in. I suppose no-one knows for sure but I have read that these child sacrifices was an implicit way leaders controlled the population back then. Basically, "we can sacrifice your children and you're going to be pleased about it".
One can’t imagine what it must feel like to be so honored, and ready to go. And then to be almost there and you realise your body is giving in, it hurts, its painful, unpleasant and terrifying. But you’re already so far. Do you think about home? About the people who you leave behind? About those who continue living a normal life, would you feel jealous? Or excited, looking forward to what’s to come; meeting the Gods and asking them to help those left behind. Will it be worth it? Would you start doubting? Can’t imagine.
If a movie came out based on Inca mythology with Clash of the Titans, only it is Inca mythology, which actors would play the role of Inca gods or would it be like gods of Egypt that changed them completely?

To explain, God and humans (Adam and eve) walked together in the garden of Eden at the beginning of the world, but since they sinned, and God and sin cannot exist together, we are separated from God unless we repent of our sins and accept Jesus as Lord of our lives (meaning we live to do His will, instead of doing what we want, which is the only way to find real meaning in life, and I and everyone in this world and probably you too, have tried to find meaning in everything else and have bren unable too.). All things leading to the point we walk together with God and the other ppl who loved Christ on that new earth without sin and shame.

Jeez stop the proselytizing.
This is where being ugly pays off!🤣
You have taught me so much. You made me care about these extraordinary creatures and the environment with the amazing films you share with us. Thank you so much David.
“These creatures” you mean humans?? ☠️
Creatures...I'm coming confused

I'm happy to hear she was drugged in her last moments. I'm sure it was extremely traumatic to go through this. At least if she was gonna die, she went out in a blaze of glory. Coca leaves and alcohol are an iconic duo.
Can you imagine walking 1, 000 miles in one day?
Rana Nashi where did it say 1 day
You cant
it wasn't in a day it was over a course of weeks to months

I think the mummy preserved so well because they burried her at cold place
"Virgins of the Sun" sounds like a song
Uhhh it just reminds me of that song title 'house of the rising sun' by The Animals. Great song btw.
More like a band to me

It, in fact, is a song. Just google it
Man, that animation is amazing!
the animation is beautiful.
can yall stop being so sensitive understand that this is how it was back then and its very different now. both my parents are fully peruvian and i was talking to my dad about this and he said yea they were very strongly devoted to their religion and it was very different back then sooooo yall can chill😂😂.
ignorant can be anyone but murderes are the people who used a nuclear bomb to kill thousands.
Devotion to the religion does not make death any less -- indeed, that's why death was chosen for the young. You can't have it both ways.
Thanks now that you said this i will no longer feel bad.
A lot of child sacrifices...we have a heart and feel what it might been for them. Not easy.
•boop• LOL you read my mind..
The sacrifice was considered an honor. She didn't die in a state of distress everything suggests otherwise. She succumbed to cold and did not die a painful death. She died in an unconscious state. However, the boy found alongside her had a more rough death.
There needs to be a movie about this
Yh. Sadly apocalypto is the only film with a close settings.
To think such a beautiful girl died for no reason but ignorance and delusions makes me think what the hell was wrong with the people at that time
Ignorance and delusions are still very present today. In every religion.
Yeah kind of like killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people burning them to death torturing them because they were "witches' eh
@@1337-NathanielIt was one religion that put an end to human and animal sacrifice...
@@kingkoi6542 put an 'end' to religious human/animal sacrifice by killing millions of people in the name of another god you mean lol there is no difference
The volcano never erupted so maybe it worked!
Let's sacrifice you to make sure the volcano will never erupt.

"Knowing She Is Going To Die" -- Smithsonian Channel, IT'S BRIGHTER HERE.
...there were 2 more children
A 7yo boy and a 6yo girl that were found with her body.
The girl was the maiden’s half sister. The boy was unrelated to either and was probably a commoner intended to serve the girls in their afterlife with the gods.
I've heard that they also drugged her at the end. Either to feel no pain, or prevent her from running away.
Feathers are symbols/gifts from angels or gods. If you see a feather pick it up and find out what the pattern/color/shape of it, it all has a meaning behind it from our spirit guides
Feathers come from birds. Seeing a feather doesn't mean you have "been blessed" by some mystical deity in heaven. It means you are in an area that's a proper habitat for birds. They fly around, get in fights with each other, and lose their feathers.
This makes me sad. I hate how they sacrificed others. That’s criminal.
Just so you know, the children were happy to be sacrificed.
@@kuychiI doubt all of them, prisoners would also be made sacrifice in places like Tenochtitlan
This is really upsetting as i have a 10yr old girl and cannot image doing this to her, what an evil act that was done to this poor little girl/children, really sad...SHAME!!!
Too bad this is part of the human experience
Who else is scared but want to know more about this sacrifice ?
Inca culture always fascinating to fit their own sun cosmology at that ancient time ❤ nor torture or killing their own people but understand it that way
Imagine... offering for your child to be sacrificed
Feels like most parents would lol
This happened in Carthage and Canaan aswell
i like how at the end it states dramatically "knowing she is going to die.." then it's that cheery music to end the video
My 23 and me DNA matched Inca Indians on my maternal grandmother's side 😊🇱🇷
That´s so cool!
23 & Me gives some different results compared to Ancestry DNA. For instance, 23 & Me said that I am 20% Irish. However, Ancestry said that I am 20% Scottish with records to prove it. Bear that in mind.
i'm scared- when it said ''500 year old mummy'' there was a pop up ad on my laptop saying ''do you want to win $500?''
This whole story is bittersweet…she was sacrificed for her beauty and rank. Which would have been a noble thing…but if she wasn’t sacrificed we wouldn’t know much of her people. To me, this story combines both spirituality and science…because what was a spiritual honorable sacrifice than is astounding and remarkable scientific discovery now…
Her self sacrifice didn't actually do anything. Her sacrifice didn't make crops grow and didn't stop natural disasters from happening. So, while her intentions may be considered noble with what wasn't known at the time, in reality, her death didn't help her people. However, like you said, hundreds of years later, scientists and archaeologists are learning about the past from her corpse and the objects buried with her.
(4:28) "Knowing that she is going to die," *Upbeat music starts* "Its brighter here"
I feel sad what this child had to endure ❤❤ RIP La Doncella
Seeing the animation makes her story even more real
Coca leaves are good for altitude sickness.
What an honorable death. We get sad she is so young, but her life was very important. Even if it seems crazy to us today, all of her people honored her where as a micro-fraction of our people care when we die.
They need to put her back. You are never supposed to touch the ancient ones. These archeologist take so many indigenous artifacts which without asking or consulting to the tribes. In many tribes, we have traditional and natural laws. You don’t take what doesn’t belong to you. you’ll pay for the consequences meaning spirit, and etc will follow you back or worst the gods will take back what is theirs. A lot of these archeologists don’t understand traditional stories or teachings or anything about indigenous culture. They don’t know what will happened.
The God of Pizarro and the Christians alone is the true God. The rest are devils and idols.
I’m 14 and this scares me a bit
I want to see the rest!

Description
What I'm getting from this is the Inca way of say you're hot is "you'd make a great sacrifice" 😎
Picture the mother giving away her child in 6-8 years old (as the authors comment these offerings could be) ...giving her away for good. Despite the honor and “the blaze of glory” this must have been so heartbreaking (((
Even today we have a religion based on human sacrifice.Ever hear the story of Jesus?
Andecap good point!
And so did a bunch of other zombies in the same graveyard. Self sacrifice=suicide
Andecap religious phobic
@@SupremeChief1be afraid of most religions because most people are indoctrinated when they are small children before their brains are fully developed
Andecap well I’m a Christian and we don’t do that, for hundreds of year many people have misinterpreted the Bible
why can't they just post the full docs i mean that'd be great
I feel like she is going to open her eyes and wondering about where she is.then she will start crying and missing her parents, my own imagination just making me emotional.
I am direct descendant of Pocahontas, still living in Ohio where I was born on this sacred ground. 🙏🇺🇸
Do you have records to prove that? No offense, but many people claim to be the descendants of famous people, but there's no objective proof of their claims.
I’m just so grateful to live in this day and age. What a horrible life.
I am sure she wouldn't want that ! no matter how well they treated her.
but how unbelievably well preserved!!! 💖
Once again. Being a princess is NOT what it’s cracked up to be
Her name is Qhapaq Hucha. (Pronounced ka-pac-nan hoo-cha) or something like that. I googled it.
Don't just rest in peace leave in peace beautiful soul
They should make a movie of her life since they know so much of it
Awesome animation to the subject!
Isn't there a link to the full documentary? Anyone know? 😊😀
i think its in the description
The video is so good, y’all need to make a game
Feathers can survive 500 years....
Yes :) it's fascinating, isn't it? Frozen in ice, preserved for such a long time, it's beautiful in a way :)
Beautifully maintained artifacts.
They were raised for this from birth...... they knew it would come one day. Their family would be honored as she would be. It was an "honor" to be given to the gods. Myself ? Not going to lie, I would have probobly been scared out of my mind. Even if youdidn't want to die, you had no say in the matter at all, you were even guarded until time. In short you wee doomed.
Agreed, at some point, survival instinct would kick in. I suppose no-one knows for sure but I have read that these child sacrifices was an implicit way leaders controlled the population back then. Basically, "we can sacrifice your children and you're going to be pleased about it".
I love how at the end, the narrator said that she was going to die in this big sinister tone but cuts to the cheery outro music. Its so funny!
Have to watch this for history homework 🥰
I really want to watch the full version? Whats the official title of this? Does anyone have a link where to watch it?
Mummies Alive: Inca Maiden
One can’t imagine what it must feel like to be so honored, and ready to go. And then to be almost there and you realise your body is giving in, it hurts, its painful, unpleasant and terrifying. But you’re already so far. Do you think about home? About the people who you leave behind? About those who continue living a normal life, would you feel jealous? Or excited, looking forward to what’s to come; meeting the Gods and asking them to help those left behind. Will it be worth it? Would you start doubting?
Can’t imagine.
Are those tiny braids on her head? 😮
Yeah. They found her body so well preserved that they even discovered a bacterial infection in her lungs.
greetings from Tahuantinsuyo
Why does it look like she just got some fresh box braids done
No shade
It was a ceremonial thing.
Incas wore box braids?

Yea
they did them good too
Young Professional what does that tell you?
Chris Wallace that braids aren’t exclusive to one race only

ITS BRIGHTER HERE
I hate how it goes from telling that the girl was going to die to a cheerful outro
Why not upload the entire video?
George Achimbi they think we’re going to watch it on tv or worse pay for it on their site
If a movie came out based on Inca mythology with Clash of the Titans, only it is Inca mythology, which actors would play the role of Inca gods or would it be like gods of Egypt that changed them completely?
Im so sorry but once they said Kuzco my disney side came out
