Ancient child sacrifice site discovered in Peru could be largest in world history

• Archaeologists unearth remains of 140 children and 200 juvenile llamas

• The sacrifices are believed to have taken place 550 years ago

• The children ranged in age from 5 to 14, according to the report. The baby llamas were less than 18 months old

• The children had their faces smeared with a red cinnabar-based pigment, the report says, which took place during the ceremony before their chests were cut open, most likely to remove their hearts.
