What makes the mummies of Guanajuato unique compared to other mummies around the world?

These mummies are likely the so-called "Chihuahuan Desert mummies" discovered in Guanajuato, Mexico. They are unique in that they are naturally mummified due to the dry desert conditions, rather than being artificially mummified through embalming procedures as was the case with ancient Egyptian mummies.

The mummy in the picture, who was discovered chewing on her own arm and with a mouth full of blood, could have been a victim of a sudden, violent death such as murder or suicide. Alternatively, she may have suffered from a medical condition such as a seizure or mental illness that caused her to bite her own arm and fill her mouth with blood.

The exact cause of death of these mummies is not known, and further research and study, including scientific analysis and medical examinations, would be necessary to determine the causes. However, it is believed that the dry desert climate, which slows down the decay process, has allowed these mummies to be preserved for hundreds of years. For more ℹ️ information
