Wyoming dwarf mummy
The dwarf mummy of Wyoming (called Pedro , after the place where it was found) is a small mummified corpse , only about 40 centimeters tall , which was found in October 1932 by the gold diggers Cecil Main and Frank Carr in a cave in the Pedro Mountains in Wyoming .
The dwarf mummy was found in a sitting position (18 cm high) with arms crossed. The skull was smashed. The Wyoming mummy was examined by Harry Shapiro using X-rays and, according to his analyzes, is said to have been a woman who died at the age of 65. The Wyoming dwarf mummy was acquired by the American businessman T. Goodman and brought to New York , where it is said to have been stolen shortly before his death.
To date, this mummy has not reappeared. However, the X-rays and photographs made by Harry Shapiro still exist .
