As this series vividly demonstrates, they are found around the worId, incIuding the Americas. lndeed, the oIdest mummies in the world-and some of the most sophisticated anywhere-come not form the Nile VaIIey but from the Atacama Desert in Chile. As archaeologists uncover these ancient mysteries of the New World, they bring to light heretofore under appreciated or misunderstood cuItures whose creations and customs inspire, awe, shock, and wonder. |
