Thousands of years before ancient Egyptians mummified their dead elite, the South American Chinchorros performed elaborate mummification rituals for deceased members of every level and age of their society. In Beyond Death, Arriaza offers new interpretations of Chinchorro mortuary practices, and reconstructs this culture's daily life of 8,000 years ago.
