The Nasca Culture "shaped" babies heads beginning at birth. The skulls actually look like the one from "Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull?" Historians aren't sure why this shaped appealed to the Nasca? The Nasca also performaned brain surgery by actually drilling into the skull. Skulls show the evidence of this practice.
Nasca Mummy - not sure even a mother could love this face?
This was the last stop on our tour of Southern Peru. We head north back to Lima - then to the highlight of our trip - The Inca Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu!!
