143: The Chosen Ones. Llullaillaco National Park.

Earth’s history is marked with the rise and fall of many great civilizations. All of whom had their own ways of living and thoughts on dying. Today we travel to South America to learn about the Ancient Inca Capacocha ritual and uncover what lies within the world’s highest tombs, and what they can tell us about people of the past. Grab some merch! We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.
