Well, I translated it, and I STILL don't understand it!

Maybe I shouldn't have translated it into Swahili, though!

In 2002, while digging for redevelopment on a mountain in South Korea, something surprising was discovered.

Because a woman's mummy was discovered.

The body was identified as a medieval South Korean woman through her clothing.

About 100 relics were discovered next to the mummy, which attracted the attention of scholars.

Even more surprising was the mummy's perfect state of preservation.

Although the nose was slightly compressed, the teeth and facial bone were well preserved, and mummy's hair seemed alive.

The mummy's hands were preserved, including fingerprints, fingernails, and wrinkles.

The CT scan results revealed even more surprising facts.

It was confirmed that there was a fetus in the mummy's lower abdomen.

The clothes and artifacts found with the mummy provide clues to the mummy's identity.

A total of 60 pieces of clothing were found in the coffin, most of which were made of silk.

The patterns and colors of the clothes were very gorgeous.

Some of the clothes were decorated with gold thread.

The date at that time was written in Korean on Mira's underwear.

It was October 1566 AD.

A letter was also found next to the mummy,

The writer of the letter was none other than the concubine of the king at the time.

Its meaning is that the mummy's identity was that of a noble family in southern Korea.

The production team reconstructed the mummy's face as it was when she was alive based on CT scans.

The restoration was done by attaching clay to the mummy's skull.

The face was that of a slightly overweight woman.

The mummy's clothing was also restored, And It is a yellow basic color with a light green point color.

To find out about mummy's health while she was alive, the production team went to the United States.

Dr. Rosenstein, a dermatologist at Brooklyn College Hospital, used mummy's skin to determine her general health.

A person's skin contains hints that can reveal the condition of the skin and the health of the entire body.

Dr. Eve Rosenstein assessed the mummy's health as being very healthy and well-nourished.

She also surmised from the mummy's hands and fingernails that the mummy was from a wealthy upper-class family who had never worked in her lifetime.

The production team also conducted a hair analysis of mummy. They also collected hair from a healthy woman in her 20s for comparison.

The condition of the hair was examined under an electron microscope, and when magnified 700 times, the cuticle layer of the mummy's hair was visible.

The hair condition of mummy and a healthy woman in her 20s was almost the same, which showed that Mira's nutritional status was very good.

Additionally, liver tissue from the mummy was collected to check for disease or infection. No viral or parasitic infection was found, but fatty liver was observed.

Gestational fatty liver disease, which occurs in the later stages of pregnancy, is a fatal disease for both the mother and the fetus as it causes acute liver failure. However, the mummy showed no signs of liver failure.

Rather, mummy's fatty liver means that she was in good nutritional condition at the time.

The production team also confirmed Mummy's cause of death. The CT scan results showed that the upper right side of Mummy's uterus was torn. This is a condition called uterine rupture.

The autopsy results showed that the rupture was 3 cm wide and 4 cm long and was very close to the right uterine artery.

Experts believe that the uterus ruptured, causing blood to leak through the uterine artery, which led to shock.

Even after 440 years, clear blood stains remained on the uterus and abdominal wall.

The production team also checked the condition of the baby in the womb. An obstetrician and gynecologist performed an autopsy on the mummy.

Mummy's abdomen was covered in a thick layer of hardened fat.

Even after 440 years, Mummy's womb still contained the fetus.

The entire fetus was perfectly preserved.

The skull was crushed, but the body shape was almost perfectly preserved.

Since the fetus had a scrotum, it was confirmed that it was a male.

Why did mummy occur naturally in South Korea?

The production team visited the excavation site of the graves of eunuchs and royal maids in medieval South Korea.

The production team checked to see if the mummy was found here, but only bones were found.

Experts have taken note of Mummy's burial method.

The thickness of the wooden coffins of nobles buried in medieval southern Korea at that time was approximately 8 cm,

and the surface of the coffin was painted with charcoal powder and ink,

and the inside of the coffin was coated with pine resin

And this has the effect of preventing the wooden coffin from rotting.

Then, the coffin containing the body is placed inside a larger coffin to create a double sealed space.

The final step is to spread a thick layer of lime powder around the coffin.

Lime has the effect of preventing the growth of insects and microorganisms.

Also, as the lime hardens, it becomes like solid concrete, which completely blocks air,

And The result is that the inside of the coffin becomes nearly sterile, and the body inside is preserved.

According to preserved records,

Mummy lost her father when she was young.

So Mummy's noble grandfather held the funeral.

This expensive burial was the grandfather's last act of affection for his granddaughter.
