Chauchilla Cemetery is an ancient burial ground located in the Nazca region of southern Peru. It dates back to around 200 AD and is notable for its well-preserved mummies and the elaborate funerary practices of the Nazca culture. The dry desert climate has helped to preserve the bodies, which are often found in a seated position and wrapped in textiles. The site also contains pottery, textiles, and other artifacts that provide valuable insights into the life and beliefs of the Nazca people.
