  • I hate it when certain flaky new agey types gush about how "spirituality", especially that of non-Western and/or ancient peoples, is so beautiful and liberating, so unlike awful, oppressive Christianity. Well I'm sure this girl would've gladly traded places with novice in a nice warm convent in Lima, as she sat on that frozen mountaintop, resigned to her fate, trying desperately to convince herself that soon she'd wake up in the lap of Paccha Mama.

  • This is soo amazing! the cientifics should clone her ! it would be amazing :o

  • I'm 15 and i have so much white hair >.>

  • @lolipopscandy62

    you're going to high school... ergo...

    she didn't have to go... but she was going to be drugged and killed :/ sooo

  • Wait, so this is a mummy of a 15 year old girl, from 500 years ago that they found??? Holy Crap! Is there anywhere where I can find the first part?

  • 私ミイラは神秘的で好きです!!

    なのでこんないい状態のミイラに

    感動しています♥

  • wow we have been doing braiding for a very long time.........LOL :P

  • @carriehiggsmusic She is "just" 500 years old. I think we've been braiding much longer than that. A couple of mileniums in the least, I guess. ;)

  • thumbs up if u didn't get this at all

  • @sankat100 Nah

  • IT MAKES Me WONDER whoo the fuuucc ckkk kil led that child and why. A sucrifice to god, which god, your fucc king satan maybe. JESUS LOVE is not enough. satan says give me blood blood and cries from children.....I hope the hand that kil led this child to be cooked in their satanic fire for ever..and it does!

  • @UBTUNE Are you okay there? With your religion are you not allowed to swear? You sure showed them!

  • @Flutturby Maybe you are right, but how can one remain silenced in front of this eternal injustice?. A confession in Christ is acceptable since Christ is PRO-life and satan is against-life and thus the result you see. As Jesus said:" ..u speak for me, i will speak for u when times come..". Peace onto you.

  • @UBTUNE Christianity is also responsible for many sacrifices in the name of God, so don't point your finger to other religions.

  • Comment removed

  • @UBTUNE read the bible. God accepted and demanded many sacrifices to be made in his name. See it for yourself: (Judges 11:29-40 NLT)(Joshua 7:15 NLT)(1 Kings 13:1-2 NLT)

    ''Chastised a little, they shall be greatly blessed, because God tried them and found them worthy of himself. As gold in the furnace, he proved them, and as sacrificial offerings he took them to himself. In the time of their visitation they shall shine, and shall dart about as sparks through stubble'' (Wisdom 3:5-7 NAB)

  • @lllmrsdarcy4everlll You must be reading from the old testament. Check the New Testament please. "The one who is not a sinner let him cast the first stone...". If you go by this in your life then quit Christianity, be a muslim. Watch in youtube please, then think /watch?v=x8TJTG4yUSQ . Jesus reserected so many people, He loves you, You Shall not kill.....

  • @UBTUNE ok. So basically you're saying that the Old Testament is invalid. So God did made many mistakes before (it doesn't matter if he tried to make up for it later by writing the new testament), so that means he isn't perfect. Which means he isn't holy. Confusing. But whatevs. Whatever helps you sleep at night. And btw, Jesus death was a sacrifice in it's own way. Peace.

  • @lllmrsdarcy4everlll did maKe*. And he didn't write the new testament, Romans did decades after the supposed death of Jesus.

  • @lllmrsdarcy4everlll Happy new year 2012 to you and your friends and family. May Jesus and Saint Marys blessings be with you and protect you. AS LONG AS YOU ASK THEM TOO. Miracles occur within the general church of Christ. BTW Jesus was sentenced to death, he did not kill him self in any sort of religious thing. He remained above evil, meaning he did not act selfisly under this provocation. Jesus said i come to continue the old testament in the right way. Love oeace hapyness

  • @UBTUNE Why are you dumping your religious views all over this video? It makes you look ignorant.

  • @abyssalbeast i dont think am ignorant because i dont ignore the fact that these poor children were a sucrifice to a bloodthursty and humaneating god. We should put things right for the memory of these poor children, someone has to take the stand and say the truth. Jesus Christ loves people and you too.

  • @UBTUNE Maybe to you, but these people had a very complex society for their time. Just because they did not know of Jesus or Satan, does not make them inferior or evil beings. That kind of mentality is why a lot of other native civilizations was destroyed and became extinct when Europeans arrived. At least be understanding. This is suppose to be looked upon from a scientific stand point, not a religious one.

  • @abyssalbeast They certainly new of the negative spirit, thus they new new of the positive spirit too. WHY?. I can tell you this, the positive spirit let them know, as it did many thousands year before them. This is done with the prophets, many of them, Eliah, Jeremy, etc. The lifes of these children and any modern child is not a scientific experiment. Am a scientist too. thanks.

  • @UBTUNE Who said anything about her being a scientific experiment? I do not see people performing the exact rituals on modern day children, do you? No. These people did have positive and negative spirits in their culture, but I assure you that they have nothing to do with the Christian "god," or "devil..." Oh, and the "devil" did not manipulate these people, either.

  • I would plow

  • sh*ttt,thats freakyyyy

  • Is that a wig or does the mummy really have micro braids?

  • does any1 know where i can find whole documentary on this episode ..i just saw fragments of it on some satelite program and couldnt watch it cus of work...and im really intrigued about this documentary...cant w8 to watch it , thx

  • Sunce vam jebem bolesno, jel imate malo postovanja prema mrtvima???

  • wow

  • Damn, they should have left her where she was because nature did a better job at preserving her. She's already showing signs of decomposition...

  • This makes me sad. Poor child.

  • It's amazing how the bugs didn't eat away at her. This is crazy. I never seen a mummy like this. You can see her skin color and everything.

  • Oi! That was quite interesting. What was the show called beside the obvious Natgeo?=)

  • Proper spooky 

  • i thaught it was gonna open its eyes all of a sudden that would scare me

  • Unbelievable, amazing! He is 500 years old and still in good condition. (O_O)

  • @Labratoria Try watching with the sound on.

  • @craigwithington I do not understand at all what you mean...

  • Comment removed

  • @Labratoria All who speak refer to her/she, you mistakenly wrote 'he'. Still amazing though.

  • @craigwithington Sorry but I do not speak English, otherwise I do not understand all of your language oddities. ;) We in Finland do not use unnecessary separate words relating to "the same". The same word as in girls than in boys. (Typos in the text, can not do anything :D)

  • @Labratoria I can guarantee that your English is far better than my Finnish, I (lazily and wrongly) assumed you to be a native English speaker, I apologise for MY crassness. Sorry :)

  • @craigwithington What he means is that in finnish he and she both translate to "hän".

  • @TamsuO Cheers, I'm sorry to make a fuss, I meant nothing by it. I was oblivious to the "hän" translation thing and I'd wrongly assumed that the viewer had watched without sound and mistaken the child for a male.

  • Scary shit.

  • Perfect hair and braids wow

  • Holy. Shit.

  • @retro80lady30 aaaaand the point of your rant was?? I don't get who you're trying to insult if their culture is dead; they're not gonna read it.

  • This is fucking insane, can't beleive she's 500 years old.

  • @Retro80Lady30 Shut up you dumb bitch. What do you know about culture that existed 500 years ago? NOTHING! There was different reasoning , so just shut the fuck up and go back to facebooking...

  • @Retro80Lady30 Fun fact: No matter what demographic you are, at some point, some of your ancestors did shit similar to this or worse. It's really easy to sit on your high horse and wag your finger like a nanny at a long-dead civilization so long as you ignore this simple fact. Humans are flawed creatures, they (still) sometimes do stupid things.

  • @Retro80Lady30 Take a history course you moron.

  • @Retro80Lady30

    Actually, it really doesn't matter what culture you live in, they still do crappy, horrible things to their own children. Every day in every culture.

  • @Retro80Lady30 you are either a troll or very stupid.

  • Looks dead to me.

  • her nose looks EXTREMELY broken.

  • fap fa- nah it's just not working.

  • fap fa- nah it's just not working.

  • this is AMAZING and at the same time Creepy!

  • Clone her

  • @systat No point. Her people are gone forever; their culture was wiped out long ago.. All that remains are their corpses.

  • @systat Clone her? A person would be naive to think that they haven't.

  • i just saw this last night? i was so wowed?? she looks like she can just come alive? i would love to ask her so many questions? lol she is incrediable

  • It's amazing how well preserved she is yet it's so sad that she looks like she is peacefully asleep. Her hair is really beautiful, I can imagine she must have been a stunning young girl during her time. What a shame she was sacrificed in mountains, literally freezing to death.

  • OMGGG!!!!

  • @DecisiveGames nah I don't lie ;]

  • @DecisiveGames yup you're dumb.

  • @DecisiveGames Actually the idiotic people are the ones who are so closed minded and refuse to accept other people's cultures, learn to respect people's believes and cultures and stop being so dumb. Is like someone might think the way you greet someone is incredibly rude and stupid just because they're not open minded and realize that there are other cultures with different beliefs than theirs, so think twice before insulting anyone.

  • She's beautiful, to bad she didn't get to live out her life :(

  • its so amazing weird....this is owo!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • they had a very effeicient technology for preserving..........hmm impressive...

  • @DecisiveGames No, no, no - they just tickled her to death.. thank you captain Obvious. A human sacrifice usually involves someone dying, so yeah she was killed. He was asking why she was killed.. read the posts first.

  • youtube is a trap.

  • @uuukay

    She became a human sacrifice. To the people of her culture which disappeared hundreds of years ago, this was not 'murder' as we perceive such an act, but it was a religious ritual that was important to them. She was obviously under stress and felt an agonizing fear of death.

  • wow! O_O

  • Inca mummies are my favorites - I think they're even more interesting than Egyptian mummies.

  • Oh no split ends

  • OMFG this will haunt me in my sleep

  • white ppl will thinking that she was white like them next

  • @cricket3362 she wasnt white, she wasnt mexican, she was black, she wasnt spanish, she was incan dumbass

    where did that even come from lol

  • Everyone that is like feeling bad for her its a reason why. When she was young her, a little boy and a little girl were chosen to not be sacrificed, but to be reunited with there ancestors. The most beautifull, perfect, and smartest children were always blessed with this. She died 500 years ago and was preserved with a tiara with a secret message saying this, which is how I know. Dont feel bad, think about where she is right now if you feel this is horrible. She is in a better place with her fam

  • @ImSoFreakingAwsome Yea because apparently her family is so awesome letting her become a sacrifice eh?

  • Poor child~ :(

  • The people of Peru began mummification before the Egyptians. I went to a museum here in Los Angeles yesterday and saw mummies from all around the world. The oldest mummy is of an infant who died when he was 8 months old. He was from Peru and his body is 6,500 yrs. old. He has all of his hair and it is a reddish brown color. He is also very well preserved. Amazing because this girl still has her features. It does look like she's sleeping.

  • Amazing! There are so many things I would like to ask her.

  • She is so well preserved that it look like she passed away recently.. it's crazy to think this young woman is older than the people examining her body..

  • I watched this whole thing today...fascinating stuff.

  • She doesn't look like a child. More like a preteen like 13ish or something.

  • @lehcaRiku I guess we need to remember at that time people were smaller... they are not very tall

  • Several children (others younger than the one in this video) were killed for perceived benefits to those who decided that they should die.

  • i wonder from these mummies could they tell if age of puberty had change to modern children

    dawahfilms should check this info out to prove that muhammad was not a pedo

    were any of these mummies 9 years old before estimated time of death ?

  • It is amazing Peru is the best country I have ever been, I recommend that everybody goes there, iti is beautiful

  • wait... five... HUNDRED???

  • @crypter27. It was the Incan culture, in case you didn't know, and you, who are ignorant of what their culture was have no right to judge or make assumptions. I don't agree with sacrifices, but as an Anthropologist, I understand that every culture, even Christians, have done some sort of sacrifices. So next time think before you open your mouth.

  • There were 3 children found on this day,all 3 walked about 700 miles across the dryest desserts on the planet to be sacrificed to the Inca gods. there motheres went too,knowing well that the children would become Gods in themselves. one of the children was hit by lighting 4 ft under ground due to a silver crown on the head. half of her face was burned. sad sad story,,all 3 kids were under the age of 16. All to please the Inca Gods.

  • oh yeah,she was a sacrifice DX

  • maybe she died of starvation? or maybe she was frozen while she was asleep,lying on a rock which made her almost in a sitting position. ^_^

  • @01ViolinGirl10 she died from an over dose of coco leaves and alcohol. the coco leaves were given for headacks at high altitde as these children( 3 of them) had to walk 22 thousand feet high atop a mountain where they were sacrificed.

  • I want to see the whole thing, when will this be on TV? :(

  • pretty cool

  • i wonder her what her cause of death was? just curious shes is amazinly preserved almost as if she was a statue

  • @6o2tallguRL she was a sacrafice

  • @6o2tallguRL the findings are not in yet but large amounts of blood found on one of the children shows that internal bleeding had occured. alcohol and Coco leaves were also used . The coco leaves to help breathing at high altituded. They were all found at 22 thousand ft. Sacraficial kids to the Inca Gods.

  • amazing

  • we must realise that yes, this finding is spectacularly awesome among with other findings, but we would never have realised these corpses without nature or deliberate preservation.

  • looks like a zombie that came out a soap factory..

  • I keep expecting her eyes to pop open at the end. I've seen too many horror movies...

  • Comment removed

  • we had to learn about this in school

  • Sssshhhhhhh she's sleeping!

  • I'm so glad I wasn't around back then because if I found out as a child that I was going to be sacrificed for the gods.. I would clearly run away and not look back. I would not sit somewhere and freeze to death..

  • Did these children know they were going to be sacrificed?

  • @AnnaSophia301 Probably...and were also probably told "This is an honor to be sacrificed to a god"

  • what happened to her nose?!

  • Sacrificing children,what kind of fucked up culture is this?

  • @crypter27 BASICALLY EVERY CULTURE WHO WANTED TO PLEASE THEIR GODS, THEY WOULD DO THIS WITH THE MOST PURE HUMANS SUCH AS VIRGINS OR LIKE THESES CHILDREN

  • @KatKillahKills Ask your'e self,was it just about religion or control of the masses?

  • @crypter27 That, I cant say.

  • @KatKillahKills Any thing worth knowing,is worth searching for!

  • @crypter27 Im really getting in it tough, I learned that the Mayans did this for their god, then it must be for Religion

  • @KatKillahKills Although I'm a Christian,I know that religion can be used to control the masses now thats a history worth knowing.

  • @crypter27 Sorry to say this man, but our culture sends 16/17 years old to war, to sacrifice themselves, or to get back with consecutive nightmares.

    Or teaches them it is valuable to die for greedy old bastards. (like they taught me)

  • @Tonyp68 I don't see much of a difference,between the two both are reguarded as nobel sacrifices!

  • I wouldn't really want to carry her from table to table. I would think she would wake up or something. Jeez :() it's creepy

  • @xRawrNeonDinox3 if she woke up id freeze trying NOT to scream

  • F-R-E-A-K-Y........ O_O :P

  • Wow that's the best preserved Mummy I've ever seen!! It looked like she only died weeks ago!

  • wow... just wow

  • i cant believe how the people sacrificed people and even kids just to keep the sun shining and stuff .......... her bloody like face haunts me....

  • I'm PEruvian, I had white hair when I was 13....lol

  • wow i really wonder how they felt touching the mummy of a 500 year old girl thats dead that looks lik she can pop her eyes open any minute man while they carry her. i feel bad that she was sacraficed but she doesnt look like a mummy though well sortof by her clothes and weird looking skin color from age but that is freakin scary science

  • this is unbelievable, she so well preserved. Shes there but she not there.

  • @hapibth0pel3ss just like rosalia lombardo

  • "The scientists believe"... One : are tey real scientists ? Two : the reason of the shifting of food is not the one given in the video.

  • we learned about this today in class

    it was kinds interesting

  • me too xD i thought that the child was going to pop her eyes open and be alive randomly

    poor girl Dx

  • I think it's also important for some people to take a look at "Mummy Juanita". A 12-14 year old girl who was also one of three children sacrificed.

  • breathtaking. the perfection in the mummy is exquisite.

  • i love your books!

  • Cannot get most if the words due to the woman's accent...not to be offensive, but yeah...

  • wtf is this

  • just amazing the preservation..unreal..

  • eeeeww.. theres somthing in her nose

  • @chaosbomb7 she had been painted before her death e__e

  • your so wrong it aint funny,,lol..you have alot to learn.and if thats the case why you watching..lmao

  • i'm sorry but this is not a mummy it's a frozen body, it was ofered in a ceremonie called capac cocha from the incas

  • a mummy is a body preserved over a long period of time.....

  • This is so creepy...

  • thats scary

  • how did they mumifie her and why would they kill her?

  • they're actually just normal ones. they were selected in replacement of the leader's kids who were originally the one that should be sacrificed. it was a year long journey to the mountain and along the way, they were fattened up to be suitable for the gods. they were wrapped tightly that one of the kids' guts were crushed so they couldn't move and drugged so they cannot escape while the one who sent them leave.. that's the gist of the article i read about them

  • thts pretty amazing to c it survived for this long long centuries! :o

    looks like its been only few yrs frozen!

    would like to c more of this!

  • where did they find the mummy? what else did they find out?? do they have an episode for this??

  • In Argentina :) She is called "The Maiden". Google! =)

  • yeah i looked it their site but didnt find out much more

  • man neo geo is the best channel way better then discovery or history they give u good detail n alot of story

  • When was this on? What was it called? And when's the next showtime?

  • wow how did they find an actress that looks just like the mummy girl?? 2:58, she looks like the mummy!!

  • ive had a couple white hairs when i was 10 and 11

  • the girl(mummy and actress) looks like one of my friends, who ironically also has strands of white hair. >_> she's mexican tho

  • She looked frozen.

    I wonder how exactly did she get mummified so nicely to keep her in that state for 500 years?
