This review is from: Nova: Ice Mummies Frozen in Heaven [VHS] (VHS Tape)

In a far away place and far off time, a brave teenager tried to help her people by making the powerful mountain and sun gods happy. She is again helping her people and science with her mummified body, recently found by mountaineers Johan Reinhard and Miguel Zarate. FROZEN IN HEAVEN offers articulate interviews with the discoverer and his colleagues who are trying to keep this first female mummy of Latin America in good shape. With spectacular onsite footage, the video is a worthy companion to Dr Reinhard's DISCOVERING THE INCA ICE MAIDEN and to Nova videos on the MYSTERIOUS MUMMIES OF CHINA, RETURN OF THE ICEMAN and SIBERIAN ICE MAIDEN.
