ISTANBUL (Bernama-Anadolu): Scientists have uncovered what are believed to be the world's oldest known mummies in South-East Asia, dating back as far as 12,000 years, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported, citing the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) journal.
The study said researchers uncovered human remains buried in crouched or squatting positions, some bearing cut and burn marks, at archaeological sites across China and Vietnam, with smaller numbers found in the Philippines, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
