Have you ever heard of the Kayban Mummy?

Question

I've seen pictures of it and this work is incredible. The original mummyfication directions came from Egypt. But the Kayban mummys were found in the Philippines. Ill bet anything that nobody has heard of them, if so, then please tell me what you know.

Answer 1

Sorry I haven't heard of it, but eh there's a first time for everything! Thanks for making me less stupid :-)

Answer 2

Hey Steven,  So what would you be willing to bet on this?   How about "winner's choice"?  If that sounds good to you let me know and I'll answer your question for you!!!

Answer 3

Personally, I don't know much about these Mummies...

But if Kayban is spelt correctly as Kabayan, Ibaloi or Benguet there is a whole lot on the interernet about them.

So I reckon that anyone who knows how to search the internet will be able to give you an answer of some sorts because, well, there is a lot of information that can be had about them.
