  • Skeletons bleach in the desert sun Chauchilla Cemetery, a burial ground dating from the late Nazca Period from A.D. 500-700. Grave robbers have looted most of the tombs in this  remote spot of southern Peru, scattering bones, garments and pottery shards across the blistering sands. Tourists pay to see some skulls that have been re-arranged. Mummies with hair, teeth and clothing sit in rock walled tomb-like graves facing east.

The treasure trove discovered included gold, silver, copper and semi-precious stones as well as hundreds of ceramic pots which contained food and drink for journey in the after life..  The Mochica leader was buried in all of this finery along with a warrior guard buried alive (with his feet cut off), three women, two assistants and a servant.

  • Clay pots piled on a tomb of the Lord of Sipan archeological site near Chiclayo, Peru in the Lambayeque Valley.<br />
Archaeologists uncovered burial places of several lesser important figures besides royalty at Sipan. One, a high priest, had a tomb almost as impressive as the royal ones. Another burial contained 1,137 pots shaped into warriors, priests, prisoners, musicians, and anthropomorphic deities.
