Scientists shocked to find 1000 year old mummy inside ancient Chinese Buddha statue
A CTscan of an ancient Buddha statue has led to the unique discovery of a mummified Chinese monk, dating back to the 11th century and preserved in the same position as its exterior statue. The Buddha statue, which was on display at the Drents Museum in Assen Netherlands, was analyzed at the Meander Medical Center in Amersfoort. A team of scientists and doctors tested the statue using CTscan imaging and an endoscope. Amsterdam resident Erik Bruijn headed the project, according to the NL Times online.
