Across history, we find many great cultures in which the bodies of the dead were preserved as a matter of course. Taking his experiences of discovering, excavating and filming mummies as a starting point, Reid brings these ancient cultures to life.

Taking his extraordinary first-hand experiences of discovering, excavating and filming mummies all over the world as his starting in point, Howard Reid brings these ancient cultures vividly to life. And in so doing, this book comes to represent his personal quest to find an answer to the meaning of death.

Dr Howard Reid is an anthropologist and documentary maker who has made many award-winning films for the BBC and Channel 4 (and PBS in the USA) about ancient civilisations.
