This story gives me pause to consider it from a different perspective: Had those remains been discovered in the United States, this display would likely be in violation of federal law under "The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA)" of 1990. (See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAGPRA). In 1995, certain international agreements in accord with that act were also executed between the US and El Salvador, Canada, Peru, Guatemala, and Mali, yet the story above indicates that some on display originated in South America, and Peru in particular. And perhaps a few readers are old enough to remember when "Indian" remains were prominently displayed in glass cases at the visitor's center on Temple Square, much to the chagrin of Native Americans who consider their ancestors sacred. The resulting controversy led to their eventual removal for a proper burial well before the enactment of NAGPRA, but you'll have to research those facts for yourself. It all makes me wonder how the white man would feel if some of his dead ancestors were dug up and put on display for the idle curiosity and amusement of Native Americans. But, of course, being much less "civilized" than the conquering white man who justified himself in stealing their lands and effectively destroying their native cultures, the Indians would find no interest in such a display, preferring instead to respect the dead, which would never include selling expensive tickets to interested persons in order to raise revenue largely reminiscent of a circus side show. And if that were not true, then wouldn't admission to this "mummies exhibition" be free? -- at least in the interests of promoting "modern science and technology"? But if modern methods can now determine when a mummy lived and died; it's heart and lung condition; it's bone structure; and even what it ate, why is science seemingly unable to determine whether Detmold is a "little boy or girl"? How are Mormons supposed to baptize him/her?:)

I'd love to see it but I can't afford to go. It would cost me and my wife $45. I'm still glad they brought it here for people to see. Anything that brings out the curiosity in people of, "How did this happen?" is a good thing.
