The mummification process is a tradition of great religious and cultural importance in the ancient world.

The first mummy specimen found in history appeared in the Valley of the Camarones. The mummy, which emerged in the Atacama Desert, which is considered one of the driest areas in the world, was made 7000 years ago. It is known that the mummies found belonged to the Chinchorro people<\/strong> , who now live in Northern Chile and Southern Peru. The mummies are two thousand years older than the ‘first’ mummies today.<\/p>\n

In the mummification process of the Chinchorro people, the work started by removing the organs of the dead. After the hollow body and various parts were dried, the organs were combined. It was also filled with dried herbs. Apart from these, sticks were placed on the arms and legs, and clay masks were placed on the faces. After all is done, the last job is to paint the mummy.<\/p>\n

The mummification process was applied only to the deceased elite<\/strong> . But times have changed for the people as well. The mummification, which was applied with the stages we mentioned, was applied to all the people of Chinchorro.<\/p>\n
