In this episode, we journey to the snow covered heights of Mount Llullaillaco, where one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century took place. Over 500 years ago, three Incan children were sacrificed atop this towering peak in a ritual known as Capacocha. Their perfectly preserved remains tell a haunting story of faith, power, and survival in the harshest conditions imaginable.
We explore the chilling yet awe-inspiring details of the Incan Empire's sacrificial practices, the cultural beliefs behind them, and the painstaking work of modern scientists who are bringing it all to light.
