It's 2100 years old noble .... and is considered to be the best preserved ancient human ever found. This is how an article describes it: her skin was still moist and elastic, her joints still flexible, every feature still remained intact down to her eyelashes and the hair in her nostrils, and blood still remained in her veins. When she was removed from the tomb, Oxygen took an immediate toll on her body and so the state in which she is seen today does not accurately reflect how she was found. Nevertheless, when forensic scientists conducted an autopsy on the Diva Mummy, they were stunned to discover that the body was in the same state as an individual who had recently died here the full article http://www.ancient-origins.net/ancient-places-asia/enduring-mystery-....-dai-mummy-001357 this is a full documentary on the subject [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXgyLYtRrFw[/ame] we're all familiar with egiptians mummifying tecniques but apparently we are going to find that china has a lot to say on the subject.

That preservation is just incredible. One could only wonder how her body was preserved so well, apart from the ultra airtight coffin she was sealed in. Kinda strange how her body is so well preserved while other Han Dynasty mummies with the fancy jade burial suits such as Liu Xiu don't even come close to the level of preservation the .... of Dai has achieved.
