6 Frozen In Ice Discoveries | Child Sacrifices, Giant Viruses + More

Check out these 6 frozen in ice discoveries to learn about frozen artifacts, as well as some of the more creepy things found in ice.

Pithovirus Sibericum is one of the oldest giant viruses discovered. At 30,000 years old, it remained dormant but sprang back to life once extracted from the permafrost of Siberia. This ancient virus proves sometimes things aren't 'gone' even if they are forgotten. What else might we dig up?

If that's not weird enough for you, how about this for creepy things found in ice - or more accurately frozen at the top of a dormant volcano. In 1999, three 500 year old Inca ice mummies were found perfectly preserved in Argentina. The creepy part? They were children. Who had been sacrificed.
