Happy 100th Birthday in memory of the indigenous artist Yma Sumac of Peru! This article is a thoughtful discussion of how she used her Native American identity to appeal to America’s fascination with the “exotic” in the mid 20th century. They say her noble ancestry was a myth, but there is something special about her vibe even in still photos with those dainty, refined Amerindian features and feline diamond shaped eyes...

Peruvian Archaeologists Unearth 500-Year-Old Inca Ceremonial Bath
Archaeologists in the Peruvian Andes have discovered an Inca bathing complex built half a millennia ago, which they believe may have served the elite of the sprawling empire than once dominated large swathes of South America.
Found near the "House of the Inca" in the Huanuco Pampa archaeological zone in central Peru, local archaeologists believe that the bath may have served a religious purpose for high-ranking members of the Inca empire, which 500 years ago extended from southern Ecuador to the center of Chile.
Luis Paredes Sanchez, project manager at Huanuco Pampa, said the structure was similar to "more hierarchical, restricted and sacred spaces within the Inca administrative centers, because rather than having a utilitarian or hygienic function, they also served for religious functions and worshiping ancestors."
The "finely carved" bath averages some two-meters in depth, with independent pools and spillways and a central passage taking water into a drainage duct that divides the room into two small platforms, or "benches" for the Inca, Peru's culture ministry said in a statement.
The Huanuco Pampa archaeological site is part of the Qhapaq Nan project, a complex 25,000-kilometer-long road network that linked Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina. The road system was declared a World Heritage Site in 2014.
Peru is home to hundreds of archaeological sites across the country, including the Machu Picchu citadel in the Inca capital of Cusco, and the Nasca lines, massive designs drawn in Ica's coastal desert region over 1,500 years ago.

So apparently Swedish and Polish facial reconstructionists decided to try to recreate the famous Incan "Ice Maiden" mummy dubbed "Juanita".
Truthfully, I feel like these European reconstructionists ( do not know how to re-create Andean facial features and the results ended up... terribly uncanny. So down below, with the use of photoshop, I edited the bust with more Andean Indigenous Peruvian facial features to honor the "Ice Maiden".
My version:
I made her brows straighter and longer, got rid of the cleft chin, gave her a down-turned mouth, broader lips (not small), I made her lips a little larger too and I made her nose longer/bigger and wider around the nasal Ala. I also broadened her nostrils a tad
and I made her under-eyes more puffy
I widened her bone structure
I emphasized her sideburns
My version (on top):
original (white euros created) below:
I hope that in the future, more Andean/Indigenous Peruvian facial reconstructionists have opportunities to work on revealing the faces of their kin and ancestors. We needed more andean people involved in her reconstruction.
Let me know what you think of my edits down below too!
I hope you enjoy them!

This is quite an oddball video I found on this excellent Youtube channel about Peru. It is a movie that also has elements of an educational documentary as well as Latin American magical realism literature. I like how the protagonist solves his challenges with kindness and empathy instead of violence and aggression. The dialogue is simple and easy to understand for a Spanish learner like me (who also loves Peru)!

One of my absolute fave parts of Wakanda Forever was seeing baby Namor especifically killing the colonizer catholic priest :3
Like, destroying the hacienda and owner? hell yes, but singling out the catholic priest because the Spanish crown used catholicism to justify colonization is a perfect detail.
I'm so grateful to Ryan Coogler for giving us this, we can always trust black creators to have our backs.
