Customer Reviews of Mummies and Pyramids: Desert Mummies of Peru
Rare Insights Into Bioanthropological Research I've worked the past 3 summers with Dr. Guillen documenting and preserving the holdings of her Centro Mallqui centers in Ilo (where this video was shot) and at Leymebamba (where the new museum, education, and conservation center opened last year).
This video provides a rare insight into the research and preservation activities necessary to properly care for a large group of mummies. The Chiribaya mummies shown in this film are part of a huge and growing collection of rescued bodies from a culture that survived numerous conquests over nearly a 1,000 year period that ended in the 1400s. The Chiribaya were peaceable and did not leave impressive monuments, but this may be the largest collection of average people over this length of time that we have, and therefore of remarkable significance because there is a huge range of individuals to study. This video documents a fairly typical series of excavations, x-ray, and endoscopic studies along with demonstrations of the types of burial goods often found in the string of ancient cemeteries along the lower Osmore Valley in this part of the Atacama Desert in southern Peru.
If you are interested in archeology, bioanthropology, and paleopathology, this is a good introduction to how it should be done in the field.
