Is there a volcano or large lake nearby?..........
They had better look out. Bill Clinton has a thing (confessed) about South American mummies.

Thanks Blam....they showed signs of being affected by a fire in the archaeological complex... the bodies had been buried under a platform of 24 meters in diameter... El Tintero contained six circular buildings, which appeared to be homes to residents of that time. The mummies, both men and women of all ages, were found both inside and outside the buildings, Narvaez said, noting it seems there was no time to bury them. The mummies may have been victims of an epidemic or a violent invasion which ended in a massacre and the burning of the stone fortress, Narvaez said... The Chachapoyas stone fortress, which is some 3,000 meters above sea level, was built in the year 800 A.D. It occupies six hectares and has three defense platforms.Apparently it was destroyed not long after it was built. The altitude alone accounts IMHO for the mummification. |
