Ancient Aliens Season 9 Episode 5 SerialGo Watch Online Streaming — For thousands of years, in cultures around the world, people have practiced elaborate techniques to preserve the human body after death. The ancient Egyptians believed that mummification ensured entry into the afterlife. Buddhist monks in Japan practiced a shocking process of self-mummification that began before death, in the hope of becoming a "living Buddha." And the Incas consulted the mummified remains of their kings to discuss state affairs and the future. Ancient astronaut theorists believe that the global practice of mummification is not a coincidence, but evidence that highly advanced extraterrestrials visited Earth in the distant past.

Was mummification an attempt to recreate suspended animation, so often associated with extraterrestrial space travel? Or could the intention have been to preserve the body for future DNA extraction?
