More about the book
Set against the backdrop of the 1993 International Mummy Symposium in Innsbruck, this book delves into the remarkable discovery of a Neolithic glacial mummy known as the "Copper Man." Found with a complete set of miner's tools in northern Chile, this mummy provides invaluable insights into the life and working conditions of an Indio miner from the first millennium AD. Unlike typical skeletal remains, the mummy's preservation offers a rare glimpse into soft tissue, enhancing our understanding of ancient mummification practices, particularly in ice and permafrost.
