In 1972, eight five-hundred-year-old mummies were discovered in Qilakitsoq, Greenland. Buell explains how scientists were able to determine how old the mummies were when they died and what may have caused their deaths. Information is also given on how the bodies avoided natural decay. Additionally, the book relates what the lives of these Thule (Eskimo) people may have been like: where they lived and how they dressed to protect themselves against the elements, how they hunted food, and how they used tattoos for luck and to show familial relationships.
