Momia Juanita (c. 1450) Momia Juanita, Spanish for “Mummy Juanita”, is the mummified remains of a young teenage girl from the Incan period in 15th century Peru. Legend has it that she was chosen -- along with other young women in the region of Arequipa -- to be sacrificed to Pachamama or Mother Earth. According to experts, Juanita was killed during the Incan sacrificial ritual of Capacocha, which took place 21,000 feet above sea level on the volcano Ampato.

The Incans believed that Capacocha was extremely important to their survival: it would calm the Pachamama’s natural disasters and guarantee a good harvest. Thus, being chosen for sacrifice was seen as a great privilege. Juanita’s remains stayed on the summit of Ampato for many years, preserved in the snowcap, until the nearby Sabancaya volcano erupted. The ashes of the volcano melted the snow on Ampato, and Juanita’s remains slid down the mountainside and waited for discovery.

In 1995, the American archaeologist John Reinhard and his assistant, Miguel Zárate were shocked to find the almost perfectly preserved body of a young girl. They decided to call her Juanita. To clarify, although she is known worldwide as the Juanita Mummy, the Incas never practiced mummification. Juanita’s mummy-like preservation was actually due to the low temperatures of the Ampato.

Juanita’s remains continue to prove their scientific and historical significance to this day. For example, before Juanita, there was no proof that the Incans sacrificed women as well as men in their rituals. Also, scientists recently discovered that she died from a blow to the head and changed her diet a year before her sacrifice. Her remains can be visited at the Santuarios Andinos Museum in the heart of Arequipa, Peru.
