Summary
Forensic anthropologist John Verano has been called to solve a nearly 2,000-year-old mystery of gruesome proportions. Mass graves have been discovered at an ancient Peruvian temple complex known as the Temple of the Moon, and the remains there shout accusations of violent ritual sacrifice. The Moche-a pre-Columbian agricultural civilization thriving from 100 BC to AD 800-are one of the best-known pre-Columbian cultures of South America. These remarkable people were at one point the dominant culture on the north coast of Peru. Human skeletons found within a chamber used for an ancient human sacrifice rite, called the presentation, will astound you. This offering site acts as a sacrificial chamber or passageway at the Huaca Bandera archaeological site. Joining a crack team of archeologists and forensic detectives, witness dark clues unearthed and the Moche people's past revealed.
