Inca Girl
I note in your article about the young Inca girl, whose mummified remains are displayed in Washington (“Frozen Asset,” May 23), that no value judgment is made about the practice of bashing children’s brains out for religious purposes.
However, the article does not fail to condemn the “invading Spaniards [who] unleashed a wave of violence.” I am unaware of any 16th-century Spanish ritualistic slaughter of children.
Who is the savage, who is the villain in this era of political correctness?
