Chulpas de Sillustani, Lake Umayo, Puno, Peru, South America
Sillustani is a pre-Incan burial ground on the shores of Lake Umayo near Puno in Peru. The tombs, which are built above ground in tower-like structures called chullpas, are the vestiges of the Colla people, Aymara who were conquered by the Inca in the 15th century. The structures housed the remains of complete family groups, although they were probably limited to nobility

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Artie Photography takes us on a journey to the ancient burial ground of Chulpas de Sillustani, located on the serene shores of Lake Umayo in Puno, Peru. The chullpas, towering above ground like mystical structures, are remnants left behind by the Colla people - Aymara who were conquered by the Inca empire during the 15th century. These fascinating stone tombs served as final resting places for complete family groups, most likely belonging to nobility. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but be awestruck by the intricate architecture and complex culture that once thrived here. The chullpas stand tall against a backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty; their shape and structure blending harmoniously with the land they inhabit. Each stone meticulously placed tells a story of an ancient civilization that revered their ancestors and believed in preserving their lineage through these sacred burial sites. Artie Ng's photography skillfully captures not only the physicality of these ruins but also evokes a sense of reverence and wonderment. It transports us back in time to an era where traditions were deeply rooted in spirituality and familial ties. As we admire this stunning image, let it serve as a reminder of our connection to history and how even in decayed ruins lie stories waiting to be discovered.
