Mummies of the World 9783791362755 Books
I've wanted a copy of this book for years but until recently either couldn't find it, or when I could, I couldn't afford it. I finally found a used copy of this book in pristine condition. It is exquisite, gorgeous, and one of a kind. I have been pouring over it repeatedly for well over a month simply enthralled. The writing and stories are delightful. And it is positively loaded with beautiful and detailed photographs.I am a discerning owner of a huge Egyptian/ mummy library and this is indeed a favorite among my collection now.
If you buy one book on mummies wanting great pictures & text, then make it this one. It does not disappoint!

Mummies of the World 9783791362755 Books Reviews
"Mummies of the World" by Editors Aldried Wieczork and Wilfired Rosendahl. Prestal, NY 2010 ISBN 978-3-7913-6275-5, PB 366/384 glossy quality paper. Notes & Ref. 18 pgs. 11" x 9 1/2" x 1". Inveiglements aboujt, with hundreds of ample-sized referenced photographs, nearly all in color.
A complete tome on mummies of the world, not just with photographs, but in context of group scientific inquisition including conventional radiographs (X-ray), CT scans (Computed Tomography), nuclear and mitochondrial DNA analyses, conventional and electron microscopies, radio-carbon dating, etc., all done under the discriminating auspices of the German Mummy Project and the Reiss-Engelhorn-Museen.
All Total, many hundreds of mummies are discussed, in detail, from a myriad of cultures representing all major countries of the world. Of great interest are those mummies pre-dating Egyptian mummies by thousands of years, some 6,000-8,000 yrs. B.C. Pictures and discussions cover conventional, bog, ice, cave, salt, and natural mummies - including a great deal abount cultural events events entwined with mummification of adults, children, and animals. There is even a thorough discussion of mummies depicted in the movies, their themes, and suggestions for reading material for younger age groups. The book was published with exhibition venues featuring "Mummies of the World" that arrived mid-year in the United States in 2010. There are no comparable books under a single cover. Importantly, the detailed scientific inquiries and methodologies are most recent.
This book is a great follow up to the Mummies of the world exhibit. It is written with great scientific explanations.
Very interesting book. Well worth the money. Excellent photographs.
I saw the exhibit in Philadelphia and had to order the book. I feel as though I have the whole exhibition with me whenever I want to do research. Also, the book is filled with various time periods and beautiful illustrations!!!
If you're into mummies and the history of them, etc., then I would definitely buy this book. It's a beautiful book that anyone would be proud to display. And the information in it? Oh my goodness, this book covers EVERYTHING!
Unfortunately I never got to see this exhibition when it came to my town, but I'm glad I ordered the book. If you're interested in mummy studies, this is perfect for you. A lot of variety and great information about mummies from all over the world. It's a great coffee table book (or maybe that's just me) and it's sure to start some interesting conversations )
I've wanted a copy of this book for years but until recently either couldn't find it, or when I could, I couldn't afford it. I finally found a used copy of this book in pristine condition.
