In 1995 I travelled around in Peru for about 2 month. Among other places I visited Nazca. A small place halfway South between Lima and the border with Chili. Nazca is well known because of the Nazca lines and drawings in the sand.
When we were there one of the taxi drivers brought us to the desert where, as he explained, we would find some interesting things.
When we were approaching the place we only saw sand with some white dots. He stopped and let us out of the car.
It was quite windy, so out of the car we couldn’t look far. We started walking around and then all of a sudden we were confronted with a place like this…...

I can asure you, it was a kind of a shock, but also intriguing. So when we got over it we started walking around and found lots of these:

The Pre Inca Cemetery of Chauchilla
For many years Chauchilla cemetery was looted by treasure hunters, who destroyed the place completely, taking away all the treasures the mummies kept in their tombs for centuries. Grave robbers just left behind the corpses, which can be seen today all over the ground. In addition to skulls and bones, visitors also can see several tombs centuries’ old, as well as long human hairs, ceramic fragments and others remains scattered on the dessert surface. It is the only archaeological site in Peru, in which ancient mummies are seen in their original graves, along with ancient artifacts, dating back to 1000 AD.

Nowadays you can book trips to this site.

I finally found a reasonable solution for my old film images, of which this is the first one.
