On the 16,000-foot summit of El Palmo, holy mountain of ancient Incas, explorers have found the body of a 12-year-old girl carefully laid on the altar before her god, probably more than 500 years ago. In this snow-bound fastness, she has been preserved throughout the centuries. The great inca empire flourished for 1,000 years before it was shattered by Spain's lust for gold.
