REMAINS OF MEN
Mummified remains of men have recently been found in some limestone caves of the coastal mountains of New Guineas, where they sit in rows, their chins on their hands, their elbows on their knees. They have sat thus for 1000 years. These objects add one more to the unsolved mysteries of the Pacific. Till they were found there was no evidence that New Guinea tribes preserved their dead. This might be regarded as evidence that the influence of old Egypt has spread to this Pacific island.
