Usually when you hear the word Mummies you think of Egypt, but now archaeologists have found mummies not even in Africa but South America in Chile. The mummies of the Chinchiro people are found in the Atacama Desert in the north of Chile. It’s. so dry that the bacteria is killed leaving the bodies well preserved.
These bodies are estimated to be around 8000 years old witch is older than the Egyptian ones. There are Australian archaeologists in the Atacama desert looking for old possessions but it will be hard for them with thieves hunting for gold and silver jewellery at the same time. The bodies were skinned and had their organs taken out before they were stuffed with bushes and leaves before they were buried.
I think that there might be a connection with the mummies found in Egypt and Chile. I also hope that the Australian archaeologists can find all belongings before the robbers do.
