Did the Incas perform human sacrifice?

Answer 1

Yes they sacrificed a variety of things like crops,livestock, and their own children! Luckily there methods were more peaceful than the bloodthristy Aztecs in Mexico. They just left the child sacrafices on a cold mountain and let them die peacfully instead of ripping out their hearts.

R. It's a difference ... in that time didn't exist any country..... we cannot call this people pagan because they didn't know any about European religion.... they had their own systems.... and they used to live in peace.... 4000 years ago (2000 bc) didn't exist what we know as America continent... it was just a land and every culturure that used to live here called in their own language... Incas Empire was created in the 1400 ac trying to unify many cultures that used to live in the region that today is known as Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Brasil, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina.... that was the area that this empire used for their lands... the empire was called tahuantinsuyo and they put together the 4 biggest regions that was occupied for many cultures as mochica, chavins, waris,tiawanacus, moches etc etc etc... some of this cultures used to make human sacrifices... but it finished when incas take the power.... imposting 3 unique laws.... Ama Suya, Ama Keya and Ama Yuya.... wich means Don't Lie, Don't Steal, And Don't Kill.... their rituals to pleased the god's like the Sun, and the Moon were only the offers of seeds to the Pachamama wich is the mother land....

Answer 2

Yes, three children bodies were found at the top of a mountain in Argentina, frozen. It is believed that this was part of a religious ceremony.

Incas 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.
