Sacred

Set high upon the crest of a mountain ridge above Peru's Sacred Valley lies the fabled 15th Century Inca citadel Machu Picchu.

The temple, otherwise known as Sacred Rock was used as a site for paying tribute and giving offerings to the sun, from what little we can gather.

There are many ancient statues of gods sticking out their tongues, such as Huitzilopochtli, which may be a sacred gesture that suggests their thirst for blood.

Hot chocolate was considered the sacred drink by the Aztecs.

In ancient Egypt, cats were considered sacred and often mummified along with their owners.
