So very close, but not quite.

I'm so sure it's Hopi, just can't find the perfect match

You almost had it trueman, so close,
They weren't quite yet Hopi.
But good call on the uto-aztec, from the dental reference.

Actually,Kantzveld got it.Also know as the A-Rajijil Standing Stones.

Archaeologists working in Saudi Arabia continue to puzzle over the meaning of more than 50 groups of oddly arranged standing stones, the most famous of which are found at the site of al-Rajajil near the ancient oasis town of al-Jouf.* The roughly-hewn stones, some of which stand nearly 10 feet high and are often arranged at different angles, are thought to date to the Chalcolithic period (c. 4500–3500 B.C.E.), although their meaning and function have remained a mystery. Based on their alignment, some have argued the stones were erected to help observe certain astronomical events, while others believe they served as territorial markers or landmarks along well traveled routes.

Are they mummies from western culture? Prehaps Italy area? If not I'd have a stab at an Asian culture

I'd guess Madain Saleh in Saudi Arabia?

I found the same photo in several sites, but the only info I could get is "mummy of a South African woman with a tattoo on each breast and on her face".

In some other sites they say " South american" instead of "South African".

You have missed the point of the game and it has moved beyond that.You get the correct answer,then you post another question.Go through the thread.

The point of the game is to gain knowledge about ancient civilizations,which has far more wealth than silver and gold.To know ones past allows you move towards to future with ease.
