The mummies of Chile are the oldest in the world, but time, human development and climate change all pose a threat to the ancient relics. In Northern Chile, efforts are underway to preserve the remains.

Imagine you were laid to rest, just trying to go to the afterlife and you’re dug up and some future civilization won’t let you ascend

The ascension is thought to happen immediately. The grave disturbance has no effect. Especially, the Pharaohs can see this as a final revenge against their successors, who tried to erase them from history by destroying any tributes/depictions of them. Now people of today will show how they were and reconstruct their past by revealing /fixing the remnants and artifacts.

If you haven’t ascended after a thousand years you got some serious issues letting go. Also, those mummies already had their second death when they are forgotten to history so it’s safe to say those mummies are likely in either “heaven” or living their reincarnated lives already.

They got it wrong that 5,000 years old mummies are 2000 years older than Egypt's. Egyptians started mummifying around 4,600 years ago, during the 4th dynaaty. Mummies as old as 4,000-4,300 years old have been found. Egypt on Thursday said it uncovered several 4,300-year-old tombs in Saqqara as it continues a series of discoveries in the ancient burial ground. The tombs date back to the Fifth and Sixth dynasties of the Old Kingdom (2686-2181 B.C.), officials said in Saqqara, which lies some 19 miles south of Cairo. 0:25 "The ancient culture that mummified their dead 5,000 years ago, 2,000 years before the Egyptians did."

They made a mistake on how old the mummies are, 'cause if you look it up, you'll find that one of the first mummies found in Egypt dates back to around 3000 BCE, wich equals to about 5000 years ago. Now, the chinchorro had different techniques. Almost 30% of known Chinchorro mummies were mummified naturally, the earliest one dating to 7020 BCE, wich is about 9000 years ago. But the artificial mummies of Chinchorro are believed to have first appeared around 5000 BCE, meaning 7000 years ago, and reached a peak around 3000 BCE. (It's just with the intention of clarifying what they say in the video. I'm chilean and an archeology student, so if you are interested in the topic, I can help you find articles or research on the matter)

​@@valmanzanita13Ah, thank you for clarifying! So they got the 5,000 years old part wrong, they were supposed to say 7,000 years old. I was born in Pakistan. I am fascinated by ancient history. The body remains from the Mehrgarh civilization in Pakistan show dental drilling for cavities performed on people who were still alive, all the back in 7,000 BC! Download PDF News Published: 22 April 2006 Stone age 'proto-dentistry' revealed British Dental Journal volume 200, page425 (2006)Cite this article 4116 Accesses 106 Altmetric Metricsdetails  a) Maxilliary left second molar from an adult male from Mehrgarh, with two drilled holes on the occlusal surface; b) scanning electron micrograph of the negative replicas of the holes; c: microtomographic 3D reconstruction of the tooth with positive virtual casts (top) of the two holes. L. Bondioli (Museum L. Pigorini, Rome) and R. Macchiarelli (Univ. Poitiers) Dental drilling began earlier than previously thought, according to a recent report in Nature (Coppa A, Bondioli L, Cucina A et al., Nature 2006; 440: 755-756). An international team of researchers have discovered eleven drilled molars in a Neolithic graveyard in Pakistan dating from 7,500-9,000 years ago, at least 1,500 years earlier than previous evidence of drilled teeth.

The Tashwinat mummy of a 3-year old baby boy proves that black Saharan people mummified their loved ones before the Nile valley was fully settled after the desertification of the Sahara in 3500 BCE. The ancient people of the Nile valley were a fully black Africans.

There are millions of mummies in Egypt - a hundred years ago they were burning mummies - they were used as fuel on the Cairo-Alexandria railway. Apparently the oil used in the mummification process was a good source of fuel in a country with few coal reserves.

I read somewhere that our modern diet consists of foods and grains that are too soft, and back when we had to chew harder stuff, people didn't need to get their teeth straightened like we do now.
@choobimoo4349
@choobimoo4349 9 күн бұрын
they didn’t consume foods & drinks that eroded their enamel the same way our modern diets do, they ate natural foods from the earth 🌱. a good diet generally comes with good health, and with both combined comes mostly healthy teeth. comparing their teeth to wild animals in nature, animals consume the foods that they’re meant to have, be it fruit, grass, leaves, meat, etc.., and when they pass away many skeletons are found with most of their teeth. maybe a silly comparison, but there are parallels to why this occurred & continues to occur in the wild, versus why we now need to visit dentists in our modern day. (sugar being one of the main causes!)

Nope. In Chile, if you find anything archeological/paleontological, you *don't move it from the place where you found it,* and you notify the authorities, so they can send the archeologists/paleontologists to study it and dig it out correctly. It's national property. Other countries have similar laws, so, don't buy stolen stuff. (Also, why would you have in your home a dead body, that without special care will decompose?)
