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. . #archeology #archeologist #archeologico #ruins #tombs #ancient #NativeAmerican #Indigenous #Colombia #SouthAmerica #TravelColombia #ColombiaTravel #TravelSouthAmerica #photography
