Chauchilla Cemetery

The Chauchilla Cemetery is a Nazca burial ground now offered as entertainment. The arid climate in the area mummified the remains of the dead. As the Nazca buried their dead with objects such as ceramics and textiles, many sites were visited by grave robbers acting on behalf of European and North American collectors. Peru has cracked down on this gruesome trade and some treasures have been returned including one item from this grave that at one point was owned by William Shatner.
