Story of Mummies: Adv. in the Real World
Author(s): Clarke, Penny
Travel through time into a world of discovery, follow in the footsteps of the heroic explorers into the unknown. Stunningly illustrated throughout, with maps and cutaway drawings, these titles provide an invaluable insight into the expeditions that helped shape the world we know. What are mummies? How, why and where were they made, and who made them? Embalmed, frozen, buried in bogs or dried by desert winds, corpses from the past tell their own story - a very creepy history! Read about preserved bodies of all kinds, from the famous mummies of ancient Egypt to the deep frozen corpses found in the Arctic, from early sacrifices in Central America to people who died in surprisingly recent times. Throughout history, some people have wanted their bodies to survive even after death.
