When the Iranians did Naqsh-e Rustam, the tombs were exclusive to kings. When the Arabs did Hegra the tombs were commissioned by anyone who could afford so, and were owned and passed on in families.

Funerary Bundle from the Wari/Huari culture, which lasted from 500-1000AD, from the Larco Museum in Lima, Peru.

The bodies of the dead, particularly of the elite, were wrapped and adorned, and placed into underground tombs, in order to become immortal ancestors within the afterlife.

Within Colombia’s mountainous Alto Magdalena river basin are the ancient remains of the San Augustín tribal chiefdoms, dating from 1-900 AD. 500 massive stone statues were buried at the entrances of tombs to stand as guardians for the dead.

The underground tombs of Tierradentro Colombia, 500-800 AD. Each of the chambers housed a single buried body & ceramic pots containing the cremated remains. Carved spiral staircases leading down into them suggests the tribe may have descended back into the earth for ceremonies paying homage to their ancestors.
