Johan Reinhard's discovery of the 500yearold frozen body of an Inca girl made international headlines in 1995, reaching more than a billion people worldwide. One of the bestpreserved mummies ever found, it was a stunning and significant time capsule, the spectacular climax to an Andean quest that yielded no fewer than ten ancient human sacrifices as well as the richest collection of Inca artifacts in archaeological history.Here is the paperback edition of his firstperson account, which The Washington Post called 'incrediblecompelling and often astonishing' and The Wall Street Journal described as ' part adventure story, part detective story, and part memoiran engaging look at a rarefied world.' It's a riveting combination of mountaineering adventure, archaeological triumph, academic intrigue, and scientific breakthrough which has produced important results ranging from the bestpreserved DNA of its age to the first complete set of an Inca noblewoman's clothing.At once a vivid personal story, a treasure trove of new insights on the lives and culture of the Inca, and a fascinating glimpse of cuttingedge research in fields as varied as biology, botany, pathology, ornithology and history, The Ice Maiden is as spellbinding and unforgettable as the longdead but still vital young woman at its heart.
