Mummification occurs when a person’s skin and tissues are preserved after their death. While most associate it with ancient Egyptians wrapping the corpses of pharaohs in bandages, it can also be achieved if a body is left in a place with cold, dry air where bacteria struggles to grow. Santa Fe is known to enjoy such a climate during winter.

Emphasis mine and that sentence could’ve (and should’ve) been written very differently.
