ReplyDeleteno words...
ReplyDeleteThis happened in 1995.
ReplyDeleteSo they're displaying a dead person in the museum..?
ReplyDeleteprobably behind glass. .-.
DeleteBring her back to life.
ReplyDeleteShe was killed with blunt trauma to the head
Deleteamazing.
ReplyDeleteYes, person that asked about the museum. They display dead people in museums all of the time. Here in Salt Lake City where I am, they have mummies displayed at a museum called "The Leonardo", it's really cool too. It helps out great studies and more, History, Anthropology and other Sciences. It's all about education, not sure why you seem to freak out about this.
ReplyDeleteIce Maiden !!
ReplyDeleteThey shouldve brought her back to life
ReplyDeletethey should of thawed her out like in the movies and have go across the world in crazy adventures, lol
ReplyDeleteOnce again, sacrificing to gods is at the heart of a tragedy.
ReplyDeleteI totally Agree. That poor child is still dead too soon. All for useless religious purposes.
DeleteI think that if someones DEAD! you should respect them and NOT dig them up! who are we?? just because years have passed does'nt mean that we should be unsettling people. lets go dig up all the civil war vets. its been long enough rite?? NO RESPECT for the dead. but this is no surprise we dont respect the living!
ReplyDeleteIm getting cremated when i die just for this reason!
PMAthiest's " and other sciences," made me laugh so hard. Are you implying History and Anthropology are sciences? Get out.
ReplyDeleteAnd reallyyyyyy how the hell do they know it was a sacrifice?? were they there?? such bullshit. they dont know how or why. they just want a job. and one that desacrates human beings!!
ReplyDeletenot so cool.
ReplyDeletehow do they know it was a sacrifice to the gods?
ReplyDeleteDead people are displayed in museums all the time. The Vatican has Popes under glass. Your local science center probably has had platicized Chinese in various poses and degrees of dissection. Reverence to a corpse is akin to reverence to a god; believe what you want, be it science or spirituality, but strong conviction can lead to precisely this.
ReplyDeleteIn 500 years or 5000 years, the future will be digging us up for answers to the past. Dessicration or scientific study, we need answers to our past, so we can understand the future. Science and Anthropology, I all for it, we have to carry on.
ReplyDeleteThough it was long ago, my heart goes out to these children for the suffering they experienced in their final hours. May peace be with them.
ReplyDeleteamazing!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThere is a cool mummy museum in Guanajuato, Guanajuato, Mexico. Most people buried there are preserved by something in the soil. They put the mummies in glass cases next to their funeral photos. Baby mummies, pregnant woman mummies, etc. etc
ReplyDeleteI agree its a remarkable discovery. I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ History/Anthropology/science!!!!! BUT how do "they" know it wAs for a religious sacrifice? Dont get me wrong i am openminded about true events and sudden discoveries.. Just would like more information if its ever possible!
