Topic: Ming body uncovered

An extremely well preserved body of a Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) woman was discovered in Taizhou, Jiangsu province, in early March. She was wrapped in a shroud and submerged in a yellow-brown liquid.

Through the pictures we can see that her body was rigid, skin intact, with her facial expressions, hair and even eyelashes well protected, even though she is 1.5 meters long. Guess what? After many years, we might be treated like this - uncovered and exhibited in a museum for others to look at. Duh!
