How are the texts similar with regard to the central idea and key details shared about the Chinchorro mummies? How are they different?
Sample Response:In both texts, you learn that the Chinchorro mummies are 7,000 years old. Both sources also reveal that historically, the area where the mummies were found has been one of the driest places in the world, which has been a good environment for preserving mummies. Additionally, both sources reveal there has been a rise in humidity in the last ten years that caused bacteria to congregate on the flesh of the mummies. These bacteria caused the flesh to turn black and gelatinous and eventually deteriorate. However, there are some differences. One difference is that the initial text reveals the following detail that is not in the additional text. Organizations such as the United Nations and the U.S. Agency for International Development are involved in understanding how climate changes are affecting mummies and other artifacts related to human history.
