“These two mummified bodies are women, one of them with an approximate age of 100 years and the other of about 42 years. The oldest woman retains part of her funerary trousseau, including a typical work blouse from the regional dress of the Mezquital Valley,” explained Andrés Ramírez, coordinator of events for this space.
