Verdens eldste mumier funnet i Sørøst-Asia

34 kilder
  • Forskere har oppdaget verdens eldste kjente menneskemumier i Sørøst-Asia, bevart gjennom røykingsteknikker som dateres så langt tilbake som 14 000 år, noe som skyver tidslinjen for kunstig mumifisering tilbake med minst 5 000 år.
  • Et internasjonalt forskerteam undersøkte 54 gravplasser for jegere og sankere over hele Sør-Kina og Sørøst-Asia, og fant kropper i tett bundne, sammenkrøpne stillinger som hadde blitt sakte tørket over lav varme i omtrent tre måneder.
  • Over 90 % av de 69 beinprøvene som ble analysert viste tegn til varmeeksponering, med den eldste bekreftede mumien fra Hang Cho, Vietnam datert til over 11 000 år gammel, mens levninger fra Hang Mu, Vietnam er estimert til å være over 14 000 år gamle.
  • Denne eldgamle praksisen bærer slående likhet med nåværende skikker hos Dani-folket i indonesisk Ny-Guinea, som fortsatt røyker og mumifiserer sine avdøde familiemedlemmer i dag.
  • Oppdagelsen utfordrer tidligere forståelse som plasserte de eldste kunstige mumiene hos Chinchorro-kulturen i Chile (for 7 000 år siden) og det gamle Egypt (for 4 500 år siden), og posisjonerer Sørøst-Asia som et uavhengig knutepunkt for tidlig kulturell innovasjon.
