Mummification Only For The Worthy
The ghoulish yet expertly preserved cave mummies of this mountainous town are as mystifying today as they were when they were first rediscovered by their Ibaloi descendants at the turn of the last century.
“What we know is that not everyone can be mummified. One has to be worthy of mummification. You either have to be a tribe leader or be very rich,” a local historian pointed out.
