A Couple Well Preserved Mummified Remains
Lady Dai. The body of Xin Zhui or Lady Dai, arguably the most perfectly preserved corpse ever found, was discovered near the Chinese city of Changsha in 1971. Lady Dai is so well-preserved that scientists were able to bend her arms and extremities; melon seeds and other remains of her last meal were found in her well-preserved stomach; her skin was still supple; and her hair was intact. Most amazing of all, her type A blood still ran red in her veins, and her internal organs were all intact! Meanwhile, the Inuit baby was found along with six other women and another child, in a grave-like cave in Qilakitsoq, Greenland, in 1972. Dating of the bodies brings their age sometime to the 1400s. |
