Sacrificed bodies found in Peru

Near Chiclayo, in the north of Peru, archaeologists have discovered a tomb with 33 human bodies inside. Scientists suppose that these people were sacrificed as a tribute to the Inca God.

According to Carlos Webster, who directs the excavations in Young-Chornancap, the bodies are in good condition and long cuts in the neck and the collarbones can be identified clearly. The people are thought to have been sacrificed some 500 or 600 years ago with the majority being 15 year old girls.

Human sacrifices have been found several times before, but it is not that usual that so many bodies are found together. What else might have been offered to the Inca God?
