Mummies of Chauchilla Cementary

Just outside Nazca lay the remains of Sharman high priests of the Nazca Culture.
They date back to a few hundred years BC so well before the inca civilization. 
As with the Nazca Lines there are many theories as to what the area was for. But one was a spiritual place where the people would come on a pilgrimage .
The tombs you see on the pictures are open air, over the centuries there has been much grave robbing going on looking for riches that may have been buried with these mummies which were from high and middle class in society.
