Oldest Mummies Discovered in Southeast Asia by subir paul is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Southeast Asians created the oldest known human mummies roughly 7,000 years before Egyptian mummies debuted, researchers say. From around 12,000 to 4,000 years ago, hunter-gatherers across southern China, Southeast Asia and islands to the south and east bound the dead in crouched postures. They then slowly dried the bodies over smoky, low-temperature fires for several months, say archaeologist Hsiao-chun Hung of Australian National University in Canberra and colleagues.
