Sillustani chullpas -peru 77
Sillustani has around 90 chullpas with the shape of an inverted cone. According to the story, before the corpses of the highest Kolla authorities were placed in the tombs, these were mummified in fetal position. These authorities were the most representative of the Inca Empire. The belongings were placed along with their bodies, which was made to keep respect for the same authorities and everything that had characterized them during their government period. Some included gold and silver objects, food or ceramic utensils.
