This wild and desolate pacific coastline in northern Chile harbours an ancient mystery. From the dry landscape emerges a hoard of mummies, bodies preserved by morticians 6,000 years ago. Remarkably many are babies, some just fetuses. Is this evidence of a crude form of population control? New research into toxins in the environment offers an alternative theory; mass poisoning through arsenic. Will an investigation into this modern threat to the local inhabitants solve the ancient mystery of Chiles child mummies.
