Mysterious tiny “mummies” have only one arm

Until now, the mystery of who created the tiny “mummies” or the purpose of creating them remains unknown. These “mummies” are completely different from the mummies that have been found so far because these are not mummies of humans or animals but are effigies.

At the discovery site, 17 “mummies” were arranged in 3 horizontal rows. Among them, 2 rows have 8 “mummies” and 1 row has 1 “mummy”.

Faced with the appearance of these tiny “mummies”, the scientific community is extremely interested in investigating to find out their origin and meaning. According to research by experts, the entire “mummy” was meticulously made from wood.
