The third episode of the show focused on the mummies of Europe, specifically those of the medieval period. Dr. Romany traveled to France and England to explore the sometimes gruesome mummification practices of the Middle Ages, including the use of arsenic to preserve bodies.

The fourth and fifth episodes of the show explored the mummies of Asia, including those of China and Japan. Dr. Romany visited China and learned about the mummification practices of the Tang dynasty. He also visited Japan and explored the tradition of sokushinbutsu, or self-mummification, which was practiced by certain Buddhist monks.

The final episode of the show focused on the mummies of the New World, specifically those found in North America. Dr. Romany traveled to the United States and visited various sites where Native American mummies had been discovered. He explained how Native American mummification practices were often tied to spiritual beliefs and were different from those of other cultures.
