The story of mummies

  • 1 Want to read

What are mummies? How, why, and where were they made, and who made them? Embalmed, frozen, buried in bogs, or dried by desert winds, corpses from the past tell their own story... a very creepy history! Read about preserved bodies of all kinds, from the famous mummies of ancient Egypt to the deep-frozen corpses found in the Arctic-from early sacrifices in Central America to people who died in surprisingly recent times. Throughout history, some people have wanted their bodies to survive even after death. Life after life: heads, hearts, and other organs all have a tale to tell...
