In 1978 I made a quickie trip up to Las Vegas with my best pal Rodney Bingheimer for the Queen concert and party. Queen was amazing and we were treated like kings. The party was held at the old Aladdin hotel and we all sat at this hugh dinning table with the band. Freddie, as always was a bit camera shy, but he was cool about me taking a few photos.
Photo of the “Llullaillaco Maiden”, a 15 year old girl sacrificed during the Inca Empire for both purposes of religious rite and social control. She was chosen a year prior to her death, fed a ritualistic diet for an approximate twelve months to make her gain weight, then was drugged and left on the shrine at Volcano Llullaillaco, where she was left to die of exposure. For five hundred years, her body had been preserved at 82 ft. She is considered to be the best preserved Andean mummy ever uncovered.
