THE BEST PRESERVED BODY EVER FOUND

-
This mummy, called La Doncella or The Maiden, is that of a teenage girl who died more than 500 years ago in a ritual sacrifice in the Andes Mountains.
The maiden and two other children were left on a topmountain  to perish to the cold as offerings to the gods, according to the archaeologists, who found the mummified remains in Argentina in 1999.
La Doncella was found dressed in a ceremonial tunic and adorned with a headpiece, tokens of her new status as a messenger to the heavens. The girl had also drunk corn liquor, likely to put her to sleep, scientists says, and her mouth still held fragments of coca leaves, which the Inca chewed to lessen the effects of altitude sickness.
Seen as one of the best preserved mummies to ever be found,blood in her body and internal organs still intact.
