Mysterious mummy '3,000-year-old Frankenstein' in Scotland

Two 3,000-year-old mummies, with body parts assembled from six others such as American horror film Frankenstein, were found in Scotland, the news website Yahoo News said.

Both mummies are buried at Cladh Hallan, an archaeological site located on the island of South Uist (Scotland), including a young boy and a young girl. The two mummies were buried in a curled up position like a fetus beneath an 11th-century house.

Through DNA tests, archaeologists discovered that a mummy has a body and limbs that belong to a man, while the skull and neck are of another person, according to the Science Science website. America).

Researchers identified this discovery as evidence that, in addition to Egypt, other countries also embalmed. The body embalming methods for these bodies were also meticulously meticulous: first the body was preserved in a highly acidic environment and then actually buried 600 years after death, Live Science said.

The question is why assemble parts of various bodies into a body.

Professor Terry Brown, a researcher at the University of Manchester (UK), speculated that parts of the mummies' bodies were intended to replace the lost original parts.

"Perhaps the head dropped and they had a different head attached ," Yahoo News quoted Brown as saying.

Meanwhile, archaeologist Mike Parker-Pearson argued that 'putting together many ancestral body parts could be a sign of the connection between many different families'.
