Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
How does a dead body become a mummy? Can you see a woman's tattoos after she has been buried for 2,500 years? Can we find out what games a young king played 3,000 years ago by searching his tomb? When scientists uncover a mummy buried in the snow or in a tomb in Egypt, it is amazing what information can be revealed. This book unlocks the secrets of mummies and explores how they were preserved and what we can learn about their ancient cultures.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 47) and index.
