Description
Earth’s history is marked with the rise and fall of many great civilizations. All of whom had their own ways of living and thoughts on dying. Today we travel to South America to learn about the Ancient Inca Capacocha ritual and uncover what lies within the world’s highest tombs, and what they can tell us about people of the past.
