A damaged Chullpa, or vertical tomb, at Sillustani

This is from pre-Incan times. The bodies were placed in the inner chamber (that has survived). Chambers used to contain many people from a family. The bodies were placed in a fetal position, and they were accompanied by some of their earthly possessions. The chambers were not very high.
