In 1990, while climbing a mountain in Peru, Anthropologist and mountain climber Dr. Johan Reinhard found something astounding: the mummy of a young Inca girl. This short work is Dr. Reinhards story. Chocked full of color pictures, this book makes a fascinating resource for anyone who is interested in the subject.

One day a 90 pound teenager put on clothes that had been specially made, had her hair braided and the plait tip tied to her waist, ate some vegetables, and climbed up Mount Ampato. Some five centuries later, veteran mountaineers Johan Reinhard and Miguel Zarate went for a walk on that same mountain and ended up DISCOVERING THE INCA ICE MAIDEN and two other mummies of children sacrificed to directly appeal on their communitys behalf to the areas gods. With its compassionate and compelling storyline eloquently presented with anthropologist/author Dr. Reinhards own stunning photographs, the book is an unforgettable read all on its own. But it also works particularly well with Janet Buells ANCIENT HORSEMEN OF SIBERIA, James M. Deems BODIES FROM THE BOG and HOW TO MAKE A MUMMY TALK, David Getzs FROZEN GIRL and FROZEN MAN, and Katie Rodens THE MUMMY.
