Contents The ultimate guide to pyramids -- The pyramid of doom: an ancient murder mystery -- The oldest mummies in the world -- Desert mummies of Peru.
Summary Pyramids and mummies: for nearly everyone the words evoke images of ancient Egypt. Yet those intriguing cultural artifacts are not unique to the Land of the Pharaohs. As this 4-part video demonstrates, they are found around the world, including the Americas. Indeed, the oldest mummies in the world and some of the most sophisticated anywhere come not from tbe Nile Valley but from the Atacama Desert in Chile. As archaeologists uncover these ancient mysteries of the New World, they bring to light underappreciated or misunderstood cultures whose creations and customs inspire awe, shock, and wonder.
