Mysterious Mass Sacrifice Found

Archeologists have recently found numerous skeletons lying in various positions, apparently a ritual mass sacrifice near  pre-Inca pyramid in northern Peru. The sacrifice includes decapitations and a royal beer bash.

According to Haagen Klaus, a bioarchaeologist at Utah Valley University in Orem, more than a hundred bodies—buried nude and some of them headless—lie in the newfound pit." the dead in the newfound pit were likely willing participants from local communities engaged in a ritual that celebrated death so that "new life could emerge in the world," reports National Geographic through their sources.
