Did You Know About the Frozen Incan Mummy that was Found?

Did you know about the frozen Incan Mummy that was found?

In my latest email newsletter from National Geographic, I learned about a frozen mummy that was discovered in the Andes Mountains. The mummy is of a 16 year old girl, which was found along with two other children mummies. It is believed that they were being offered as sacrifices. The bodies were frozen and mummified by the exposure to the freezing temperatures. The mummies are now on display in an Argentine museum. They reside in a closed case, refrigerated and with low moisture to ensure the continued results on the mummification procedure.
