Mummies and their Mysteries

Summary: All mummies aren't from pyramids in Egypt. And no matter where they're found, mummies can't walk, talk, or put curses on the living. But even if mummies can't open their mouths, they can and do solve mysteries. In the bodies, clothes, and artifacts of ancient mummies, modern researchers are uncovering clues to past ways of life and attitudes toward death. In this book you'll travel around the world - from sun-parched graveyards in Peru to the snow-covered mountain peaks of the Austrian Alps - hunting for mummies and uncovering their mysteries.
