The Kabayan Mummies, also called the Benguet Mummies, Ibaloi Mummies, or Fire Mummies of the Philippines, are a collection of mummified human remains discovered on the mountain slopes of Kabayan, a town situated in the northern region of the Philippines. These mummies date back to as early as 2000 BCE and are currently preserved in their natural caves and a museum located in Kabayan.
According to scientists, the Fire Mummies, which were found buried in caves across five towns in Benguet, were likely created by the Ibaloi people during the period of 1200 to 1500 CE. However, some contend that the mummification process may have started as far back as 2000 BCE. The distinctiveness of these mummies lies in the method used for their preservation.
