Ancient Brits mummified dead too


Ancient Britons started mummifying their dead at around the same time as the ancient Egyptians, according a British archaeologist.

Dr Mike Parker-Pearson, who will feature in a BBC documentary "Meet the Ancestors" on Tuesday, discovered four Bronze Age bodies showing signs of mummification in the remote Scottish isle of South Uist.
