Pyramids around the globe = coincidence?

Now you can add mummies to the argument. No longer just found in Egypt and the Americas, they were once fashionable in the UK as well:

"The 3,000-year-old bodies are believed to be the first ever discovery of mummification in Britain....

While the Egyptians used hot sand and natural salts to preserve their dead and ancient Peruvians cured their dead in dry mountaintop winds, Parker-Pearson believes Britons used naturally-occurring acids in peat bogs."

More science than primitive ritual, I believe.
