Mummies Unwrapped: Science Behind the Stories Mummies Tell 

October 9, 2024 – The Local Grape announces Mummies Unwrapped for their next Science on Tap and its next Monday night! Dr. Beth Scaffidi discusses Ötzi the Iceman, the “beautiful children” and even the Yosemite mummies of local lore! The is a free event so come out and enjoy the Science!

From ancient Egypt to many frozen mountaineers now being exposed by glacial retreat, mummified human remains have captured the human imagination. Dr. Scaffidi will introduce some of the most interesting natural mummies from prehistory: Ötzi the Iceman of the Swiss Alps, the oldest mummies in the world from the Chinchorro desert in north-coastal Chile, the “beautiful children’ or capacochas sacrificed by the Inca and Andean mountain peaks, human trophy heads from the Peruvian coast, and even the Yosemite mummies of local lore.

Dr. Beth Scaffidi will share how modern scientific techniques like ancient DNA, isotopic analyses, and even drug analysis from mummy hair is showing us who these individuals were, how they lived and died, and yielding warnings far more important than any mummy’s curse!

Event will be held at The Local Grape located at 5021 Hwy. 140 in Mariposa, on the corner of 5th Street.
