In 1972, two brothers discovered eight mummified bodies in a frozen cave
further north at Qilakitsoq. The bodies have been dated back to 1460
and four were perfectly preserved due to their cold surroundings.
This mummy is a 6-month old boy. Historians say that the baby may
have been placed alive into the grave if its mother had died,
as was customary in the local culture.
