The Chotuna-Chornancap sacrifices
Carlos Webster and his team of archaeologists in Peru working in the exavations at the Chotuna-Chornancap have discovered the remains of around three dozen people believed to be sacrificed over 600 years ago by Incas.
The remains of Incan and pre-Incan sacrifices are not rare but the size of this find makes it unique. The Chotuna Chornacap is a large site some 12 miles from the coastal city of Chicalyo.
Sacrifice was common in Incan culture and occured in the lands which are now known as Peru, Chile and Ecuador between 1400 and the middle of 1500. The 33 bodies found by the archaelogists are likely to belong to sacrifices made just before the arrival of the Spanish explorers.
