EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic Nazca Mummies, captured by the talented photographer Luis Rosendo in Ica, Peru in 2015. The Nazca culture, also known as Nasca, thrived from around 100 BC to 800 AD along the arid and mesmerizing southern coast of Peru. This ancient civilization left behind a remarkable archaeological legacy that continues to intrigue researchers and enthusiasts alike. The mummies depicted in this photograph are a testament to the rich history and cultural practices of the Nazca people. Preserved through time, these mummified remains offer valuable insights into their burial customs and beliefs surrounding death. Located within the river valleys of Rio Grande de Nazca drainage and Ica Valley, this region served as an ideal habitat for the flourishing Nazca civilization. Despite facing harsh environmental conditions characterized by aridity, they managed to develop sophisticated irrigation systems that allowed them to cultivate crops such as maize and cotton. Luis Rosendo's skillful composition captures not only the physical details of these fascinating mummies but also evokes a sense of wonder about their mysterious past. Through his lens, we can appreciate both their delicate preservation and their profound significance within Peruvian history. This print serves as a reminder of our shared human heritage and invites us to delve deeper into understanding one of South America's most intriguing ancient cultures - the enigmatic world of the Nazcas.
