The The Book of Mummies: An Introduction to the Realm of the Dead edited by Gino Caspari, supported by illustrations and layout from Anja Schorneck, and published by the Foundation for ArchaeoExploration in Switzerland in 2021, offers a comprehensive introduction to various mummification practices and studies across different cultures and times. It compiles contributions from several researchers specializing in different aspects of mummification, including the study of mummified children on Andean mountaintops, the scientific approach to mummy studies exemplified by the Iceman, and mummies in ancient Egypt, among others. The text distills current research findings and methods into digestible pieces accessible to a broader audience, beyond academic circles. This collection aims to bridge the gap between complex academic research and public interest by presenting the fascinating world of mummies in a language that is understandable without sacrificing the depth and breadth of scientific inquiry.
