In 1546, Francisco de Orellana was killed by the Nazca in Peru after he murdered his fellow conquistadors when they tried to relieve him of the crystal skull in his possession. Dressed like skeletons, Orellana thought he was being attacked by the living dead. The tribe buried the seven men at Chauchilla Cemetery, overlooking the Nazca Lines. Orellana's body was wrapped with the crystal skull and a golden death mask.

  • In 1546, Francisco de Orellana was killed by the Nazca in Peru after he murdered his fellow conquistadors when they tried to relieve him of the crystal skull in his possession. Dressed like skeletons, Orellana thought he was being attacked by the living dead. The tribe buried the seven men at Chauchilla Cemetery, overlooking the Nazca Lines. Orellana's body was wrapped with the crystal skull and a golden death mask. Over four hundred years later, in 1957, the tribe was protecting Orellana's Tomb and the cemetery from grave robbers. However, Harold Oxley bypassed them simply by journeying to the graveyard during the daytime. He found the skull and attempted to return it to Akator. When he couldn't access the Temple of Akator returned to Chauchilla Cemetery and placed the crytal skull back with Orellana's body. Following Oxley's trail, Indiana Jones and Mutt Williams were attacked by two of the Nazca's skeletal guard who wielded blowguns but were also capable martial artists. Though one of the cemetery warriors was killed by his own poison dart, the other was chased away when Jones cocked his pistol. Others were present in the shadows but they simply slipped away in the darkness.
