What I read about this week really grabbed my attention. The article
that I read about was that there was a 1,000-year-old mummified monk that was
hidden in a statue of a Buddha. I found this so interesting because not only
did the body in the statue fit the shape perfectly, but also it was also taken
from a temple in china to the Netherlands and then kept a secret for that long.
The researchers and scientists that did all of the scans on the mummy found out
that he was still in all of the cloth and found his name, Liuqan, and all of
his information including that he was practicing a position for life after
death. The scientists are figuring out the exact location in China where the
statue was placed and mummified. The statue is now in a museum in Budapest but
will be put on an international tour at different museums.
