Researchers chaired by the superintendent ethnographic museum in Rotterdam, Erika Brujina, claim that the body inside the statue belonged to the Chinese master Liuquana Meditation School. Master veins around 1100 years. Endoscopy showed that abdominal monk – a place where they should be organs – are still unidentified materials, as well as pieces of paper with old Chinese characters. They took cadaver bone fragments for DNA testing.
It is possible that Liuquan surrendered samomumifikacji – former Buddhist religious practice aimed at starving in such a way that the delay were mummified naturally. This was associated with a diet based, inter alia, to toxic toxic herbs and infusions, as well as seeds and nuts. The idea was to get rid of body fat. Monk undergoing this process was waiting to die in the lotus position.
To Europe statue was brought in last year as part of the international exhibition “World of Mumia”. Part of scans was performed before exposing it in Drents Museum, other studies done in September.
