    I learned a lot of things. I am always watching these types of shows on the discovery channels, and yet you managed to discover numerous things I’d never heard about. Great article!

    Good ideas and photos-DNA and mummies are going to be a very big science field. I have read that Lenin is chemically treated and cared for on a daily basis.

    Nice research, but you really need to check your information before presenting it as fact. Besides the fact that much of this article is worded so poorly that it is nearly unreadable, many of your references are wrong, for example, you have an image of Ötzi the ice man (not Ozzy), but refer to it as being a mummy from the Franklin mission.

    Sorry to get on your case, but before you present an item as a fact, you should really put some effort into getting it right first.

    Some of those are *NOT* mummies. The ones I’m referring to, in fact, are actually bog bodies. Bog bodies and mummies are different, including the fact that bog bodies and mummies are preserved in different ways.

    Like your second to last picture is a bog body.

    And before you submit a story…. you should do a little more research than you did here.

    And your “mummy” of “Ozzy Iceman” is actually named Ötzi the ice man.

    No hard feelings, by the way. :\

    Incredible and Fascinating. I love it. Though some of the factors of why they were mummified is cruel and unbelievable

    I agree with Phil.
    The grouping and the fotos are fascinating but the text is so poorly written that it makes it difficult to believe the information included in the page is credible.
    May I suggest having a native speaker of English check your syntax before you post again on the internet?

    Interesting article, but you should check some informations before posting, and let your own opinions aside.

    The picture depicting Franklin is actually Ötzi. The baby Incan mummy is not even South American. It’s a 19th century Guanajuato mummy. Guanajuato mummies are from Mexico.

    The last bog body depicted here IS NOT a woman, and IT WAS NOT found in England. That bog body is called: Tollund Man. He was found in a peat bog, in Jutland, Denmark. The thing that seems like a braid in his neck is actually the rope that was used to strangle him.

    You also write in a way that don’t respect the culture you’re writing about. You treat cultures with human sacrifices as if they were primitives and savages. Maybe that wasn’t your intention, but the way you write gave me that impression. Human sacrifices were part of their culture and a reason to be proud of. The way you wrote about the Incas make them seem like savages. In fact human sacrifices in the Inca culture were minimum compared to others, and they respected the people who were about to be sacrificed, and minimized the pain of the sacrifice by giving them some sort of drug.

    As your’re writing something about history, you should keep your point of view to yourself, and not treat great civilizations as savages only because they performed human sacrifices. I think you should research a little bit more, before posting something like this.

    Also, your post was not about egyptian mummies. You shouldn’t have given so many focus to the egyptian mummification process, you should also have written about the natural mummification process. Just a thought.
