Abstract
- The article examines mummies that were found in the Atacama Desert in Chile, dealing with topics including how the oldest mummies from the site date back to 5000 B.C., how the mummies are decaying, even though they are kept in climate-controlled conditions at the Archaeological and Anthropological Museum of San Miguel de Azapa in Arica, Chile, and how mummies are impacted by climate change.
