Mysterious Mummies
Ethical Statement:
It is difficult for us to determine within the confines of this project who the descendants of the Chinchorro and Ancient Egyptians exactly are or whether the peoples currently living in, for example, the Chile area, have been there through time. Even if we did have a name for their descendents, it might be difficult contacting them or finding information on their wishes when it comes to archaeological findings. We have no reason to believe at this time that the information presented would cause harm to modern descendants.
