Loved the back story

Johann Reinhard's moment by moment account of discovering the Incan Ice Maiden covered all the subjects I wanted with the topic of this importance. He reports not only the expected archeology, historical/cultural context, and actual discoveries, but also the logistics, preservation science and the usual professional infighting that accompanies such media intense stories. Reinhard exposes much of his thoughts and feelings toward...

A Personal Story, A Scientific Achievement, Stunning Photos

This is a tale of finding things a long ways up a frozen mountain. It begins with a volcanic eruption that causes a collapse of the ground around a burial site.

The discovery of this mummy, now called the Ice Maiden began a series of architectural discoveries in the region that have greatly expanded our knowledge...

Even more hair-raising than the story of the initial discovery...

Having worked for years in Nepal as an ethnographer, and having participated in several major mountaineering expeditions, Reinhard came to Peru with a rare combination of skills and intuitions that allowed him to transform his academic discipline...

The Ice Maiden book review

Johan Reinhard has succeeded in telling a story in such a way that it will appeal to a wide audience - youngsters as well as oldsters, lay persons as well as technical experts. Dr. Reinhard is an excellent communicator and his book contains all the elements of an engrossing novel - mysterious and chilling religious practices, daunting physical obstacles, political intrigue - yet it proves that real life can be more interesting...
