The Chinchorro mummies are considered the oldest mummies in the world. Thousands of years older than the Egyptian mummies. And these were not pharaohs. They were everyday folks looking to hold on to what was most dear to them: The people they loved.

An embrace from the past that would last for thousands upon thousands of years. That would last until today. And, hopefully, far into the future.

This is episode 41 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange. Independent investigative journalism, supported by Global Exchange's Human Rights in Action program. Each week, we’ll bring you stories of resistance like this. Inspiration for dark times.
