Being sacrificed was not an easy journey
We didn’t expect that to happen. If you were one of the selected children, you had months of preparation ahead of you. Before the long journey to the mountain’s summit, the kid would be dressed out in elegance and jewels by the Incan high priests. They may have to travel for hundreds of miles to get to their final destination.
As they approached the sacrifice location, they were given whiskey and coca leaves to guarantee that they would die with no discomfort or suffering whatsoever. After that, the youngster would either be allowed to die, estranged, drugged, or buried alive in a hole or grave. If it weren’t for their findings, no one would have known this.
