a dead mouse, day 1 - km 82

A dead mouse. According to Inca believes, the spirit of this dead mouse is brought to the heaven by the condors and its spirit will live in the upper world before its body decayed. That's why people made mummies, just to keep the body fresh so the spirit can stay inside. If the body decayed, they will return to Pacha Mama (mother earth) and it won't be nice. That's also the reason why the last Inca Emperor rather joined the Catholic church so that he would die of hanging instead of burning.
