  MUMMIFIED GIRL FOUND AFTER 500 YEARS  
  Archaeologists in Peru have found the 
  frozen mummy of a girl sacrificed to  
  Inca gods more than 500 years ago.    
                                        
  The mummy was found near the summit   
  of Mount Amparo and officials say the 
  little girl's skin and clothes are    
  well presjrvjd.                       
                                        
  It is only the second find of a       
  virtually undamaged frozen Inca mummy 
  and should provide unique and valuable
  historical information about the      
  civilisation's lifestyle.
