7,000-year-old Chinchorro mummies may have emerged as a form of ancient grief therapy

Researchers have recently published an article in the Cambridge Archaeological Journal that provides a new perspective on why the Chinchorro culture in northern Chile began artificially mummifying their dead more than 7,000 years ago...

There have been so many mummified cats found in Egypt that in the 19th Century they were shipped to the UK in their thousands to be ground up & used as fertiliser. There are still a lot of cat mummies that survived, and this is one that is now in the Liverpool World Museum.

It’s a fine looking specimen, with a nicely modelled head and geometric patterns in the wrapping made from two different colours of bandage. These patterns are used to date it to the 1st Century CE, during the Roman Period of ancient Egyptian history.

So you may assume that there’s an actual cat laid out inside the wrapping with its head within the head wrappings and its rear at the bottom, but this is not the case. This mummy actually does contain a cat – but a young one that is much smaller than the wrapped object.

This sort of thing is very common, many animal mummies do not contain a whole specimen of the animal inside them. And those that do tend to have much younger animals than they are packaged up to resemble.

The mummies were made at a large scale by operations associated with the temples where they were subsequently offered by visitors to venerate or send a message to the god of the temple. Think of it as a rather more gruesome take on the same idea as a votive candle.

It’s tempting to see the ones that don’t have a whole animal in them as the priests ripping off the pilgrims, but it’s not clear that was the case. The outward form and the presence of some of the animal may’ve given them sufficient symbolic power at a more affordable level.

It’s not known where this mummy came from, but it’s now in the World Museum in Liverpool, acc. no.: 42.18.2.

The oldest mummies in the world: ancient Southeast Asian burials rewrite early human history

Archaeologists in Southeast Asia have unearthed what may be the oldest mummies in the world, dating back as far as 12,000 years. The pre-Neolithic burials, found throughout southern China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia, reflect an enduring tradition of mummification
