  1. Chessbourough, England has a cave with a Neanderthal skeleton fossilized forever in the stalagmites of the dropping that have entombed his body. Of course it's not known how old it is only that it's an Neanderthal.

         "Posi" the iceman found in the Italian Swiss alps, approximately 4.5 K years old.

          The Caucasian mummies found in Western China (the Gobi) date to about 4,500 years old. No one knows much about them.

          The child mummies found in the Andes of Peru. Again, about 4,500 years old.


  2. my guess would be the Egyptian tombs

  3. As Neanderthal skeletal remains have been found intentionally buried, older than 25,000 years, you would have to go back to even pre-humans!

    The oldest modern human found, is 195,000 years old.

    In Israel, modern humans have been found buried in caves, dating to 90,000 years old!

    Probably even Homo erectus (1.5 million y.a.), the first true hunters for wild animals as meat, realized that if they didn't bury their deceased, predatory animals would develop a "taste" for human flesh, so it was a good idea to do so!

  4. I don't think anyone knows. I think it would be strange if we did, no?

  5. That's a weird question. I wouldn't know.
