The Migrations Of Early Culture: A Study Of The Significance Of The Geographical Distribution Of Mummification

By Grafton Elliot Smith and Smith

Book Overview

The Migrations of Early Culture: A Study of the Significance of the Geographical Distribution of Mummification is a scholarly work by Grafton Elliot Smith. The book explores the historical and cultural significance of mummification in various regions of the world, including Egypt, Peru, China, and the Canary Islands. Smith argues that the practice of mummification was not isolated to one particular culture or time period, but rather was a common practice among early civilizations. He examines the similarities and differences in the methods and purposes of mummification in these different regions, and uses this information to trace the possible migrations of early peoples and the spread of cultural practices. The book is a comprehensive study of the role of mummification in early cultures, and offers insights into the development of human civilization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
