One of the five mummies that archeologists found in Peru October 2, 2006. Archeologists have uncovered a 600-year-old, large underground cemetery belonging to a Peruvian warrior culture, thought to be the first discovery of its kind, an official said on Thursday. After a tip-off from a farmer in Peru's northern Amazon jungle, archeologists from Peru's National Culture Institute last week found the 820-feet-(250-meter)deep cave that was used for burial and worship by the Chachapoyas tribe.

Could this be the burial ground of the "Wild Tchapatulas"?

Wait, I thought the Incas were innocent natives conquered ruthlessley by Europeans? They couldn't possibly have conquered another tribe? \s

2004: Top (Archaeological) Finds On Bolivian Highlands
“By comparing small details, such as clothing, headgear, jewellery and even facial characteristics, to other finds from the highland area, we can actually start drawing conclusions about the ethnic identities of the people who lived there at the time. The discovery also provides new information on the relationship between the Inca and Tiwanaku cultures,” Korpisaari says. "

Interesting find. I have read that these White Indian tribes could be related to Basques, Celts, Berber, Guanche, and Dals. I wonder if Anasazi could be related to them too? I have seen Anasazi relics and they look very Celtic like.

Strange "technical" thread.
"Chachapoyas" is spelled three different ways in the same article!
