Indian Mummy

The Indian Mummy refers to a series of ancient mummies found in India, particularly linked to the practice of mummification in certain cultures. While most people associate mummification with ancient Egypt, some communities in India also preserved bodies for various reasons, including religious beliefs and to honor the dead. One famous example is the naturally preserved remains found in the Himalayan region of Tibet, which showcased how environmental conditions can lead to mummification. These findings help researchers understand historical practices, cultural significance, and the lives of people from ancient India.
