| 6. What caused the mummification of the Pazyryks on the Siberian steppes? |
|
Answer: c. The freezing of rain or melted snow that flooded well-insulated graves.
When water that leaked into a chamber froze quickly, it preserved the burial artifacts and the body of the deceased much like a gigantic freezer. (From the EXPLORER film “Ice Tombs of Siberia.”)
