[post_page_title]Mummified monk[/post_page_title]
Get ready for this one. In 2014, a Chinese statue of Buddha was brought to a medical center in the Netherlands to do some testing. Why? because there was a body of a buddhist monk inside of it!
After doing a CT scan and taking a DNA sample from the bone material, scientists found out that it was the mummified body of a Buddhist master named Liuquan. Apparently there was a practice in ancient China where monks practiced self-mummification— mummifying yourself by preserving your body for the afterlife while still being alive.
