Chinchorro
Back in South America, this time in Chile, the Chinchorro mummies were found in an archeological dig. Now, these are probably the oldest mummies we have on planet earth so far, roughly seven thousand years old. That’s thousands of years before even the ancient Egyptians themselves! Just when you thought those guys were the oldest kids on the block.
Not really much is visible on the faces of the mummies, but the shape of their bodies is amazing and they have been mummified just as well as any Egyptian royal member. Organs and other internal parts of the body were removed before being wrapped up and mummified. Sounds gross to us, but effective.
