Ok lets get right into this list this is the top 10 oldest immortal mummies meaning these
mummies seem like they can just live on forever and well they have been living for a very
long time.
You will be shocked at how old these mummies are.
Lets start off at number 10 with Rosalia Lombardo I wanted to talk about her first because of
how well her body was preserved just take a look at this picture right here.
Honestly it just looks like a little girl sleeping.
How long would you guess she has been dead for well if you guessed for 92 yrs you would
be right.
This is just so incredible.
She has been embalmed so well.
Special Emblaming technquies were used.
All of her organs are remarkably intact maybe she can come to life one day when the technology
is there.
Well this little girl is just 1 yrs old.
Ok its time to up the age by hundreds of years at number 9 we have La Doncella Inca maiden.
La Doncella is currently on display so people can see her in Argentinas museum of high Altitude
Archaeology in Salta which is a city in Argentina.
I think this would be so amazing to see one day.
La Doncella has been mummied over 500 yrs ago and today she still looks like she could
open up her eyes and just walk out of the museum.
This particular little girl was the best preserved from the 1500’s and she was actually sacrifices
in an Inca religious ritual.
Her body froze in the cold on top of a mountrain and it wasn’t till more recently where her
body was found and than professionally preserved so scientists can really study the body to
find out more about our history and who this little girl was.
An Inuit Baby is up next on this list at number 8.
This baby takes us back 537 yrs ago.
This particular Inuit baby was part of a group of 8 mummies found in the 1972 gravesite in
Greenland.
The graves dated back to 1475 AD.
There was 6 women and 2 children found and this was one of the two children that was
found and preserved.
One of the women found at the grave site had a malignant rumor near the base of her skull
which most likeily caused her to die.
This inuit baby is said to be a boy age 6 months old and it appeared to have been buried
alive with her.
Number 7.
We have Xin Zhui.
Xin was also known as lady Dai.
Xin gained fame more than 2,000 yrs after her death because her tomb just discovered
back in 1971.
Her body was exceptionally preserved.
Along with her body their was hundreds of valuable artifacts and documents.
Her body is now under the care of Hunan Provincial museum.
They are making sure to keep her body perfectly preserved so it could be around forever.
Her body does go on display ever so often.
Xin was born back in 213 BC which is so crazy because we get to witness something older
than 2,000 yrs and it’s a human we get to see.
Now at number 6.
we have a mummy who is 2,200 yrs old.
This right here is the Grauballe Man who was discovered back in 1952 perfectly naturally
preserved.
The man dated back to the late 3rd century BC during the early Germanic Iron Age.
There was wounds found on this man that suggest that he was killed by having his throat slashed.
He was most likely sacrafised.
His corpse was than put into a bag and was buried.
Well this bag fused to the body not allowing the body to be decomposed.
Instead it was naturally preserved.
Number 5 we have a 2,300 yr old mummy.
This is the Tollund Man.
He was a naturally mummified corpse that dates back to the 4th century BC during the time
of the pre- roman iron age.
He was discovered back in 1950 in Denmark.
His body was actually so well preserved that when he was found in the 50s he was mistaken
for a murder that recently happened.
The Tollund Man was also most liklely scarified.
A lot of people back in the day scarified themselves for the greater good of their people
their was so many beliefs back than.
Some thought they had to do it to please gods, and spirits.
Some reasons were for cannibalism there wasn’t enough food so they had to eat each other,
and others believed they would be in a better place.
Alright number 4 we have Ur David that dates back over 3,000 yrs ago.
Ur-David was a part of a group of mummies that was discovered back at the start of the
20th century in China.
The cemetery contained 29 mummies and Ur David was one of the best preserved ones.
Also his son was discovered with him.
He had a 1 yr old baby with brown hair.
The baby had a blue felt cap on.
The clothes found on these mummies helped scientists and re-searched find out the way
these people lived back 3,000 yrs ago.
Number 3 we have another mummy that dates back 3,000 yrs.
And actually this is a female Tocharian mummy that lived around 1,000 BC.
You can really see what this woman looked like.
Her hair still hasn’t fallen off.
This woman is in her 40s and she braided her hair.
If you can look closely, but not to close because it’s a bit freaky but you can see
this woman’s eye lashes they are still there.
It’s just so amazing how this woman was naturally preserved.
Tutankhamen comes into this list at number 2.
This is a mummy who about 3,335 yrs old.
Its so crazy how experts can pin point the age of a human dating back thousands of years
ago.
This is a more familiar mummy that we all know because this was an Egyptian pharaoh
that dates back to the 18th dynasty.
This was known as the new kingdom or sometimes the new empire period of time.
This body was discovered back in 1922 by Howard Carter.
And now it rests in the eguptian museum for people to see.
There were some artifacts in the tomb as well and that’s also put on display.
Again I would love to see this in real life.
Finally at number 1 we have a mummy that is 5,300 years old.
This right here is the famous Otzi the Iceman.
This is a well preserved mummy of a man that lived around 3,300 BCE time.
This mummy was found back in 1991 in the Otztal Alps hence the his name.
He is known as Europes oldest known natural human mummy and he has offered an unprecedented
amount of information on how people lived back in that day.
His body right now is in Italy.
I wish I knew that before I went to Italy because I would have loved ot see this body.
The man is believed to be around 45 yrs old which is quite old actually for the time period.
This corpse has been extensively examined, measured and x-rayed to try and get as much
information as we can from it.
