An international exhibition on human sacrifice in the Andes, state rituals, the kingdom of the Incas and the world of the gods. Children's bodies, frozen solid and accompanied by stunning objects, tell the intriguing story of the Inca cosmic vision. Capac Hucha was the Inca ruler's royal obligation to take hold of creation through child sacrifices and to exercise political authority over his vast empire. Long before the Incas, the Moches drank the blood of their own warriors in order to avert the flash floods that could pour down the steep mountain slopes. The Nascas used headhunting as a metaphor for harvest. To be united with the deities and ancestors, Chavín men sacrificed themselves with knives. The exhibition's subject is a world premiere. The exhibition covers 3000 years of cultural history, illustrated with over 300 artworks from the museum's own collection, eight European museums and private collections. On display are mummies, ceramics, royal textiles, silver and gold.
