Preserved as if recently dead

I wonder if anyone has heard of her?
2000 years and still perfectly preserved! They were even able to do a medical autopsy and determine the cause of death. Even a corpse dead for a year would not be able to normally look this good. I saw the documentary on National Geographic a while back and it was amazing!

I saw it too. It was great. Thought it was neat that they could tell what she died of after all this time. To be able to move her limbs was remarkable. Thanks for sharing that link!

the care taken to preserve all the mummies we've seen from all over the world is amazing they really will live on in the after life for eternity it really brings to life the ancient past. seeing sketches and reading about people from the past is great but to be inches away from someone who lived 1000's of years ago is truly awe inspiring thnx for the link

Yes great article

Was it the elaborate tomb construction that protected the body? Or, more controversially, it could have been the mysterious liquid that the body was immersed in. Is this strange substance an elixir of immortality?

I'm not sure why this liquid would be so controversial, could it not have had antibacterial properties that helped to reduce the decomposition?

"Elixir of immortality" I think not considering that she is.....um.......dead
