科学家在东南亚发现了14 000岁的木乃伊,通过烟雾干燥暴露了早期人类的木乃伊。 Scientists found 14,000-year-old mummies in Southeast Asia, revealing early human mummification through smoke-drying.

科学家发现了东南亚最古老的已知人类木乃伊,残骸可追溯到14 000年。 Scientists have discovered the oldest known human mummification in southeastern Asia, with remains dating back up to 14,000 years. 尸体在中国、越南和印度尼西亚被发现,通过烟雾干燥保存,这是一种长期低热技术。 Found in China, Vietnam, and Indonesia, the bodies were preserved through smoke-drying, a technique involving low heat over long periods. 这些尸骨被埋在有骨头烧焦的蹲着的姿势下,表明狩猎采集者社区有意保存这些骨骼。 The skeletons, buried in crouched positions with bone charring, suggest deliberate preservation by hunter-gatherer communities. 这种做法也见于一些土著澳大利亚群体,在巴布亚新几内亚仍然使用,表明对死亡和祖传关系有复杂的信仰。 This practice, also seen in some Indigenous Australian groups and still used in Papua New Guinea, indicates complex beliefs about death and ancestral connections. 这些发现将木乃伊化的时间线推迟了数千年，揭示了史前社会先进的丧葬传统。 The findings push back the timeline of mummification by thousands of years, revealing advanced funerary traditions in prehistoric societies.
