I’ll have to ask Mr. Mercat but I remember going to a small mountain town in Mexico in the 70s. Their big tourist attraction was a cave full of mummies. Land was so scarce in that valley that families would rent a plot of land to bury their loved one and after a few decades, the body or what was left of it, would be dug up and put in the cave. I think that the first century Jews did that too and had ossuaries. The mummies were pretty interesting. It was very arid and high altitude.
