Oldest mummies in the world

Comrades, did you know that the oldest mummies in the world are NOT Egyptian mummies? In fact, they are the Mummies of the Chinchorro people, who lived between Peru and Chile, on the coast of the Pacific Ocean between 7,400 BC and 2,840 BC. They began mummification in 7,000 BC, before the Egyptians.
