The Mummies of Guanajuato are a fascinating collection of naturally mummified bodies interred during a cholera outbreak in the mid-19th century in Guanajuato, Mexico. These mummies were discovered in the early 20th century when local authorities began exhuming bodies from the overcrowded cemetery to make room for new burials. The unique climatic conditions and soil composition led to the remarkable preservation of the bodies, which are now displayed in the Museo de las Momias (Museum of the Mummies) in Guanajuato.
