Did the Inca sacrifice people and how did they sacrifice?
Clarinetplayer
Incas actually had human-sacrificial ceremonies, called a Capocha Ritual.
These usually took place if the Inca wanted to get help after earthquakes, droughts, plagues, or war defeats.
Flawless, unblemished children were chosen for this. It was an honour for the child and his/her family to be chosen. During the course of these rituals, the child and his/her family were taken to see the emperor. Then a feast was held in the child's honour.
Finally, the child was taken high up into the Andes Mountains, and placed in a structure made especially for this purpose. The child was then left there to die in the cold. After the ritual, statues were made in the child's honour, as the Incas believed that the child would then become a deity, or a god.
