Relatives In Confined Environment... Chauchilla Cemetery, Nasca Desert...

These mysterious tombs with remains of Nazca people date back to 300 BCE-800 AD times. One can see mummies perfectly preserved in dry air and exposed to environment. The Necropol has about dozen of tombs, whereas archeologists are still working on discovering more burial sites. Look at the hair of some mummies, it is absolutely amazing...

Acoording to Moslem belief exactly 7 days, but I am not sure aboout Incas... It seems to be that likely it continued for another 1500 years, considering lenght of hair...
