| 500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
| General note | This book presents the story of mummification as a practice worldwide. Mummies have been found on every continent, some deliberately preserved as with the ancient Egyptians using a variety of complex techniques, others accidentally by dry baking heat, intense cold and ice, or by tanning in peat bogs. A profound insight into the lives, health, culture and deaths of individuals and populations long gone can be gotten by examining these preserved humans. This edition investigates the new findings in South America, Europe and the Far East. |
