Juanita, the Inca mummy, is believed to have died around the age of 12 during an Inca ritual sacrifice known as capacocha, which was performed to honor the gods. Her death likely occurred due to a combination of factors, including possible illness, malnutrition, or the effects of altitude in the Andes mountains. The discovery of her well-preserved body in the Andes provides valuable insights into Inca culture and their practices of honoring deities through human sacrifice.
