The mystery of the dead bodies for thousands of years remains intact
The corpses that remain intact after hundreds or even thousands of years are still mysteriously unable to find the answers of scientists.
The human body will begin the decomposition process only after a few minutes after death and will eventually rot. However, there are a number of corpses in the world that remain the same as they were when they died, even though they did not undergo any mummification processes that made scientists unable to explain.
The same point through 5 corpses with "life expectancy" up to 1000 years old but still intact makes the world amazing.
1. Mummy of Tulum people
This mummy is also known as marsh mummy because it was discovered under a peat layer at the peninsula of Jylland, in Denmark on May 8, 1950. Scientists named it Tollund Man .
After conducting radioactive carbon tests, the scientists were surprised to find this mummy dating back more than 2000 years, belonging to the pre-Iron Roman era. When discovered, the body is completely non-biodegradable, even facial expressions remain.
The research results showed that Tollund Man was hanged to sacrifice for the gods.
2. The Otzi gang
This is the name of a natural mummy discovered in the snow in the Otztal Alps in September 19, 1991. According to the study, this mummy dates back to 5300 years ago, and is considered the oldest mummy in Europe .
Today, the Otzi gang still hides a lot of mysteries, even it is said to have "cursed" leading to the death of 7 people.
3. Ginger's mummy, Egypt
This is the mummy of an adult and almost intact man from blond hair to toenails and nails, though he died 5,000 years ago. Scientists believe that this mummy was preserved intact because it was buried directly in the hot dry desert.
4. The mummy of the Han Dynasty in Ma Wang Doi
In 1972, this strange mummy was discovered by Chinese archaeologists at a tomb from the Han Dynasty in Ma Wang Dou, in Hunan Province, China. This mummy was confirmed as the wife of a Han dynasty from 2000 years ago.
What is special is that this mummy still retains the intact expression of facial expression. The nose, eyes and mouth strokes are still clear, the skin is soft and moist, the hair is smooth, the limbs are elastic, even the four limbs joints still move. Even the internal organs are still complete, more than 100 melon seeds remain in the small intestine and the stomach of the mummy.
5. Juanita mummy
Juanita's mummy was discovered in 1995 atop Mount Ampato in Peru. This is the mummy of a girl from 12 to 14 years old. According to the study, 5,000 years ago, Juanita and some others were taken to the summit to be sacrifices. On high mountains at freezing temperatures, the girl's mummy is preserved almost intact with undistorted black hair, long hair and eyebrows. This is the evidence that helps scientists learn about the lives of the Incas.
