It is a perfectly preserved mummy of a 15-year-old girl of Incas tribe, which was sacrificed more than 500 years ago. It was discovered in 1999 along with two other children on llullaillaco volcano, at an altitude of 6,700 meters above sea level in Argentina. While the girl looks like a victim of the tragedy, there are evidences that she suffered a fatal disease like tuberculosis or chronic infection of the lungs.
