>"Ice Mummies: Frozen in Heaven" is the bizarre and fascinating story
>of the remains of Inca culture, frozen for posterity high in the
>mountains of the Andes. Evidence has emerged of sacrifice to the
>mountain gods, whose existence dominated the civilization over 500
>years ago. The film traces the frozen bodies of children uncovered
>by archaeologists in South America, and follows an archaeological
>expedition to a high-altitude sacred site in search of ritual
>remains and another body. How did they come to be there? Why did
>they go to their deaths willingly? What was the religious
>framework that dictated their sacrifice to fierce gods?
>
>You'll find more about mummies from three different continents on
>the companion Web site:
>

> search of frozen sacrifices on the summit of Sara Sara in Peru.
