There's been a sensational find done in Italy: A church burial place where an entire community of people was buried in a church crypt - and a lot of them mummyfied. Which means that they are still fully dressed in their burial garments - practical, no-nonsense clothes.
You can read and see pictures about this find from the Italian mountain church here. Go have a look - the pics are spectacular!
