Hello everyone, I am Amaojun.
She is rated as the most beautiful mummy girl in the world, with curly golden hair and smooth and delicate skin.
Our common mummies are the mummies in the Egyptian pyramids. Most of the mummies in those pyramids are relatively well preserved.
But compared with today’s mummy, the mummies in the Egyptian pyramids are slightly inferior.
Because she is well preserved far beyond the mummies in the Egyptian pyramids.
This cute little girl with long eyelashes and golden curly hair has been dead for more than 100 years. She is called the most beautiful mummy in the world.
On Sicily in Italy, in an ancient catacombs.
A young girl lay in a glass-topped coffin, her name was Rosaria Lombardo.
A week before little Rosalia's second birthday in 1920, she died of pneumonia caused by the Spanish flu.
Faced with the early death of his beloved daughter, Rosalia's father was heartbroken.
So he looked for a famous embalmer in Sicily at the time to preserve his daughter's body, and the embalmer made Roshalia a perfect mummy.
So much so that a century later, her internal organs are still intact when we see little Rosalia through the glass coffin.
Her skin is still smooth, and her blond hair is neatly tied back with a big bow.
's expression is easy-going and peaceful, as if he might wake up at any time.
When Rosalía's embalmer died in 1933, no one knew his secret embalming recipe until a doctor found the house where the embalmer was still alive.
and found a bunch of his files. Among the files, he stumbled upon a handwritten memoir that documented the chemicals he injected into Sharia's body.
formalin , alcohol , salicylic acid and glycerol . Formalin is now widely used as a preservative. It is a mixture of formaldehyde and water, which can eliminate bacteria .
The alcohol and the arid climate of the catacombs desiccated Rosalia's body.
Glycerin can prevent his body from drying out too much, salicylic acid can prevent fungal infections, and zinc salts are a key factor in preserving the body's incorruptibility. Basically, Rosalia's little body was petrified, so it can remain incorruptible for hundreds of years and still look lifelike to this day.
The tomb where Rosalia is located is called the Catacombs of the Gabe Friars of Palermo. On the walls of this underground tomb, a total of 8,000 mummified corpses are hung, with their necks and feet suspended by hooks.
They were wearing expensive clothes, and the heads of the corpses drooped slightly, as if they were praying silently.
The mystery of this catacombs lies in the unique mummification method used by the Sicilian people. The corpses of the deceased were hung in the catacombs for eight months to dry extensively.
Before this, the body is cleaned with vinegar and exposed to a flowing air environment.
After these treatments, some bodies were preserved with antiseptic drugs, while others were sealed in glass cabinets. Today Rosaliya is placed in a new glass cabinet filled with nitrogen.
This device can protect his remains from oxygen and light, and tourists can visit the entire catacombs for only three euros.
Some netizens said that this is the most complete mummy they have seen in a long time. Many mummies found said that their skin is delicate, elastic and well-preserved.
But actually when I look at it, it's still very dry and scary. It doesn't look like it's been there for so long, it even looks like an oil painting.
