The mummy is the well-preserved body of a 12- to-14-year-old girl sacrificed to the Inca gods....

The girl’s face and body were so well preserved the mummy caught the eye of President Clinton at a 1996 fund-raiser in Stamford, Connecticut. "But you know, if I were a single man I might ask that mummy out. That’s a good-looking mummy!" Clinton said.

Peruvian scientists called his comments tasteless.
