Really well preserved for a 700-year old mummy.
Wonder why the liquid in the stone coffin is still intact.
Archaeologists have discovered a well-preserved, 700-year-old,body of a woman inside a stone coffin in China.
The coffin was found on a building site in Taizhou, in eastern China 's Jiangsu Province. Archaeologists carefully lever the lid off with crowbars.
The coffin was one of the three discovered in a tomb two metres underground on a construction site in the city.
Researchers from the Taizhou Museum carefully opened the coffins.
In two they found skeletons, Ming Dynasty clothes and funerary objects.
However, in the third they found the well preserved body of a woman.
The 5-foot-long corpse was tightly wrapped in cerecloth (heavy wax-treated linen cloth used for burying the dead), quilt and clothes.
