“Llullaillaco Maiden”:

A 15 year old girl sacrificed during the Inca Empire for both purposes of religious rite and social control. She was chosen a year prior to her death, fed a ritualistic diet for an approximate twelve months to make her gain weight, then was drugged and left on the shrine at Volcano Llullaillaco, where she was left to die of exposure. For five hundred years, she body had been preserved at 82 ft. She is considered to be the best preserved Andean mummy ever uncovered. 

she looks so alive oh wow

the dude workin on her scalp looks like his mind is blown
