In 1999 a female corpse with black objects on its feet was unearthed in Heilongjiang (China). Experts revealed her tragic experience: was she buried alive?
For more than 200 years, a woman's skin, muscles, and joints remained intact. This female body was in the coffin, with a distorted posture and open mouth. Although it has become a mummy, it is not difficult to see that its expression is in great pain.
The mummy was about 164 cm, the whole body was black as coal, and the placenta was not removed from the mummy before dying.
The placenta was attached to the buttocks.
Looking closer, the left hand and foot are mutilated.
According to the archaeological team, it was a young woman in her 25s from the mummy's face and bones.
According to Chinese tradition, the person who dies before being buried is cleaned and straightened by the limbs.
The Mystery of the Cause of Death: Did you die of chronic poisoning or difficult childbirth?
When the female mummy was found, her skin was still yellowish, her hair and eyebrows were still clearly visible, and the spots on her face were even noticeable," remembers Xin Jian.
Antique experts only found one tooth in the mummy's open mouth, but it is not uncommon for a 25-30-year-old woman to have only one tooth left.
After examining the mummy, Dr Liu, an anatomist at the Qiqihar School of Medicine, concluded that the only remaining tooth was likely due to chronic poisoning from ingesting large amounts of tonics and herbal products; poisoning caused teeth to fall out. Regarding the placenta, Dr Liu deduced that it was probably caused by Meng's "narrow angle of the pelvic opening", that she had a difficult delivery, and, after hours of painful struggle, the baby was finally born. The child's fragility and difficult labor caused fainting and death due to physical exhaustion.
Due to the limited medical care available at the time, Meng's family may have mistaken fainting for actual death and prepared their postpartum to the point of causing the woman's permanent and actual death. (Northeast China) [ Edited by Long Qiu Xiu].
The underlying part is not safe.
After the burial, the woman wakes up slowly and is in a coffin.
It is so short that you cannot sit or open the lid. ¿Were you buried in the position shown in the photo?
Then he starts screaming for help, and during his fierce fight, he fractures and scratches his fingers and toes, and the placenta inside his belly also emerges.
She writhes and screams desperately, but the coffin hides her screams; no one can hear her.
Inside the coffin hangs a cloth ring. All that cloth is torn when she tears the coffin. He gets tired of screaming desperately and finally dies of pain and suffocation.
