Archaeologists excavating a site in northern Peru have found the remains of nearly three dozen people ritually sacrificed 600 years ago.
Experts say the bodies were well preserved with skin tissue and hair remaining.
The bodies showed signs of being cut across the neck and collarbones, but otherwise were well preserved.
Most of the remains were of teenage girls of around 15-years-old.
The burial chamber was found in an enormous archaeological site called Chotuna-Chornancap, near the coastal city of Chiclayo.
Ancient Peruvian culture is best known for the mountain citadel of Machu Picchu, the ruins of which are Peru's top tourist destination.
