Frozen in Time

Three 500-year-old mummies  discovered by archeologists in  the high
Andes Mountains are  so well preserved that you get  the feeling you
could revive  them with jumper cables.  Although no cause of death
was apparent, the trio -- all  children (two girls and a boy)  --
appear to have been the  victims of a sacrificial ritual,  based on
evidence buried  with them. But what  astounded the archeologists
was the condition of their  internal organs: Intact and  looking as
if death occurred  only yesterday. There was also  evidence of blood
found in  the hearts and lungs of each.  If the children were
sacrificed  500 years ago, it would have  been right around the time
the conquistadors vanquished  the Incas.
