Stars: 3
Review by: Mandy Apgar
The author is
an archaeologist that made a name for himself, and quite a bit of
trouble, after he discovered a frozen mummy in the Andes. Dealing with
local politics was one thing as well as the international
scrutiny (he was however somewhat amused by witnessing a tabloid that
said he'd violated an Incan curse)but he still had a mummy to preserve
darn it, it is not like he'd make his situation worse by finding more
mumm.... oh, crap. He found a lot more. A. Lot.
Including a few babies. Putting aside some random and not needed moments
on his personal life he does a fairly good job of explaining how the
mummies were found, preserved, and eventually displayed along with the
proposed ideologies that led the Incas to sacrifice
their children.
