Considered a huaca, or mystical place, by the Incas, this natural fissure sits beneath the so-called Temple of the Sun at Machu Picchu. Stonemasons carved steps, altars and niches into its granite interior and constructed a wall, at right, to link it to the temple above.
To demonstrate the sizes of his mummy bundles relative to that of a living person, archaeologist Max Uhle posed a workman with two of his finds during his 1896 dig at Pachacama, on the southern coast of Peru.
