Up in the town of Tilcara today, where we visited some pre-Incan ruins. They were quite extensive and impressively conserved. Archeologists were even able to reconstruct some houses and buildings, so we could go inside and see what their dwellings would have felt like. (Dark.) This here is the cemetery, where they buried people in these pits (adults in the fetal position, children buried inside of a very specific kind of urn), along with all kinds of food and everyday items that might be useful in the afterlife.
