4.0 out of 5 stars Complex story of how the Nazca mummies came to light and the subsequent developments
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 16, 2023
Verified Purchase
In my opinion, the most common response to the Nazca mummies has been a sort of kneejerk reaction where people have dismissed them out of hand, taking the line that they can't be real, therefore they aren't. For myself, having seen the HD scans and x-rays, I don't see how they could possibly have been fabricated, and I don't believe it's necessary to be a doctor to conclude that much at least. However, it's important to note that there ARE some fake ones. Some of these are copycat attempts which appeared after the originals first came to light in 2016, while others are thought to have been created hundreds of years ago and have been dubbed 'ritual dolls'. The ones which appear to be authentic are those that have been given names such as 'Maria', 'Albert', 'Victoria', 'Josephina' and 'Luisa'. There's a lot of poorly-informed media content out there which has not made this clear.

It's unfortunate that the mummies were discovered by a grave robber rather than an archaeologist working with official permission; this is, understandably, one of the reasons why the claims have met with such scepticism. Nevertheless, those scientists brave enough to have examined the bodies have concluded they are authentic and are unlikely to have been willing to make such statements if they had felt any doubts. While it's true that these scientists may not have international reputations, one welcome recent development is that Michio Kaku has begun to look into the case.

Anyway, I thought that bit of background might be helpful before I write about the book itself. Thierry Jamin is a French explorer and anthropologist who became involved in the case right from the beginning while he was in Peru searching for the legendary lost city of Paititi. This account of what is certainly a complex story is very much from his point of view, but none the less valuable for that. The English translation is a bit awkward at times and there are too many typos, but he's an engaging narrator and he clarified a lot of details for me. The anecdotes of strange incidents which occurred along the way are fascianting as well. I also appreciated the many photographs included in the book, especially the seven pages of full-colour, high definition x-rays.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to find out more about the Nazca mummies. As I've already mentioned, the story of how they came to light and what has happened since is a complicated one; in order to understand it, a deep dive is required and a book such as this is far more illuminating than any newspaper article is ever going to be.
