Peru: Ancient mass graves of child sacrifice victims unearthed
Archaeologists in Peru have uncovered a mass grave, which could be evidence of the largest child sacrifice ritual in the world.
The remains of more than 100 children from the ages of six to 15 years old were found in the northwest of the country.
The victims appear to have been part of a ritual sacrifice that took place nearly 550 years ago.
