Product Description
The Complete Book of Mummies offers much more than the standard look at Egyptian mummies. Explaining how and why bodies are mummified, it looks at ice-age mummies, American Indian mummies, Egyptian mummies and animal mummies. In addition, it looks at how to find mummies, the scientific discoveries available through testing mummies, public reaction to mummies through the ages and modern-day mummies like Lenin.
