In P’isaq nowadays we can see a good example of how was an inkas cemetery, this sector is called as Tank’ana Marka, Tank’ana means to push and Marka means province, this is a hillside of a mountain that has about 100 meters altitude keeping more than approximately 3 000 tombs, those tombs were looted during the colonial time, the Spaniards excavated tombs searching for precious metal like gold and silver, also for some precious stones that the inkas used to put with the mommy, now nobody can get there and take something out.
As this is a hillside its inaccessible, the inkas built a bridge to pass from one mountain to another and now we can see the foundations of this bridge, before the inkas put the mommy into his tomb they used to built like a road (trail, pass) where walk and take the mommy into his tomb, after they destroyed the road to avoid someone get there, and they started building another tombs lower than those that were full.
