Researchers at the Chilean National Museum of Natural History tried to reveal the secrets of the Chinchorro mummies, the oldest in the world, with modern medical image analysis. According to the researchers, the Chinchorro People began mummifying human remains in their native Atacama Desert up to 2,000 years before the Ancient Egyptians. The Atacama Desert is one of the driest in the world, an ideal environment for preservation of mummies. The imaging analysis is based on a paleoradiology diagnostic method, which consists of the application of modern medical imaging techniques in the examination of human and animal remains as well as archaeological sites and tools. Who knows what secrets they will discover?
