The oldest mysterious mummy 3000 years old revealed a method of mummification in the UK

Archaeologists believe that two of the oldest mysterious skeletons, 3000 years old, found in Cladh Hallan, on Scotland, Britain assembled from various mummies revealed one of the methods of embalming the money. history.

Two intact bones were excavated in Cladh Hallan as the first evidence to prove that the British preserved corpses by embalming.

Mummies are assembled from parts of many different mummies.

Previously, the identity of these mummies was forever a mystery until scientists discovered a frightening fact that they were grafted from the bones of many different mummies.

Under the help of advanced technology, a new study has shown that two bones grafted from bone parts of six mummies died hundreds of years ago.

Last year, another study showed that these body parts are the members of the same family. They are put together as a puzzle game to form a complete mummy.

The University of Manchester's recent DNA tests also show that one of the two previously identified sex corpses was female because of its pelvic trait, but the fact that it was a composite mummy. Parts of 3 different corpses and skulls of mummies are also identified by men.

The mummies are carefully buried in a discreet location, where they are arranged as a fetus shape. This method of burial was found during the Bronze Age.

Even so, archaeologists are still skeptical about how parts from six different bodies can fit within a mummy.

Professor Mike Parker Pearson from the University of Sheffield said the mummies were not buried immediately after marinating and similar mummies were also found in Peru.

'Mummies can be a combination of body parts of corpses of blood. They are put together and this arrangement seems intentional , 'he added.

As part of the custom of ancestor worship, these mummies may be the spiritual help for the community before making decisions.

The place where the mummies were discovered was on the background of the remaining houses in the Bronze Age. After dating, mummies were determined to die about 300 and 500 years before new houses were built, meaning they were retained on the ground in later life.

Many experiments later proved that all bones were demineralized, a process made by placing the body in the environment like a peat swamp.

The level of demineralization indicates that after death, the bodies were placed in peat bogs to marinate within a year before being restored.

Until now, archaeologists have unearthed three of the mummies located in a complex architecture including seven houses built one thousand years BC. These houses are not only houses but also places of worship rituals.

When the house structure was built, two of the ancient mummies, along with the body of a sheep, could be a punishment, buried in the farthest northern house.

At the same time, the body of a 13-year-old girl, who had not been embalmed, was buried under the floor. Underneath the excavated houses of three southern houses, the mummy of three children was buried 1 thousand years ago.

The archaeologist specializing in Daivid Key said: 'Future archaeological studies will have the opportunity to answer these questions'.

However, at this time, the discovery of the first British mummies should begin to redefine important aspects of life and the death of prehistoric Britons.
