Bodies preserved for thousands of years hold clues about how people once lived.
Mummies have been found in Egyptian tombs, frozen mountains and peat bogs. This photo-illustrated book explains how bodies can be preserved, naturally or on purpose, and what scientists learn from them about the lives, beliefs and customs of people long ago.
Supports the national curriculum standards Culture; Time, Continuity, and Change; People, Places, and Environments; and Science Technology and Society as outlined by the National Council for the Social Studies.
