OverviewMummies are not just a phenomenon of ancient egypt, they can also be found in the high mountains and the desert regions of South America, in icy Greenland, in churches and crypts of Europe, in northern European moors and in Asia. The oldest mummies are about 9000 years old, some of the youngest are Lenin and Evita Peron. The well-known researcher Albert Zink explains the various processes that lead to natural or artificial preservation of human bodies in a clear manner. Using examples, he introduces the reader to mummies like Tutankhamen or Otzi, but also to less known bodies as Juanita or Lady Dai. So, this book is a comprehensive compendium on mummies.
