:-( Rest in peace.
Full article at above link. The study stated that it is proof for the first time that San Pedro cactus was used in Southern coastal Peru.
On some anthropology/archeology documentary type TV show I watched years ago it was said how the Nazca in the desert of Southern Peru used San Pedro, so why wouldn't the Nazca on the coast as well? I guess this was just waiting to be confirmed?
LIVE SCIENCE said:Thousands of years ago, a child in Peru was sacrificed as part of an ancient ritual, their head severed at the neck and made into a type of trophy. A new analysis of a single hair plucked from the mummy's skull reveals that the child consumed a psychoactive cactus prior to execution, as part of the ceremony.
