This book explores the ever-fascinating processes of mummification, from the South American desert mummies and the famous and elaborate Egyptian pharaohs to 19th century embalming techniques, to famous modern mummies such as Lenin.
A large section of the book covers bodies that have been mummified accidentally, such as those remarkably preserved within the cold, dry air of the Sicilian tombs, and bodies preserved through natural chemicals in bogs or frozen in mountain glaciers.
