Huanchaco. Las tumbas de 76 niños sacrificados, hace al menos 1.000 años en rituales religiosos, fueron encontradas por arqueólogos que excavaban en un santuario prehispánico de la costa norte de Perú.

“Hemos hallado 76 tumbas con restos de niños sacrificados en las últimas excavaciones que hemos realizado”, dijo a la AFP el arqueólogo Luis Flores, uno de los investigadores en el santuario de Pampa La Cruz.
