Chump

There were both large and small tombs at Sillustani, the larger ones (like this one) called chumps.  This was the most dominant tomb on the hill and was one reserved for nobility.  It was located high on the hill and whole family groups were placed inside.  The servants and family members were buried in the ground, lower on the hill, until they could be placed in the chump.  When assembled, the servants were on the bottom, the family members next and then the royal person was placed on top so he was closer to the afterlife and could get there faster.   Rocks were placed at the top to cover all of the bodies.  There was a system for preparing the royal body for the afterlife and the guide told us the bodies were frozen and then placed in the sun until they dried.  (I wasn't sure I believed that but who am I to argue?)
