The work of unusual specialists was shown in the unique film of the NTV television company "Mausoleum".
Tutankhamon. Perhaps Pharaoh is the most famous mummy. Although, in the opinion of historians, during the life of Tutthanhamm, nothing was distinguished among other rulers, the story about a terrible curse is connected with his tomb.
In 1922, the British Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon found the tomb of Tutankhamon, untouched robbers. Archaeologists opened a double coffin, discovering inside the golden sarcophagus. Even flowers are well preserved inside, so their discovery was truly unique.

In the period from 1865 to 1958, there was a law on which relatives paid the tax for ensuring that their relatives were lying in the grave in the cemetery. If the amount was not paid, the dead bodies were simply taken out of the stone tombs - the museum appeared.
Screaming mummies are unusual because their distorted persons testify that the person was buried alive.
Man from Grauballe. In the 50s of the last century, archaeologists have discovered several mummies in peat swamps. Among the fairly well-preserved bodies of scientists especially surprised the mummified body of a young man.
It could easily see even the features of the face framed by a dust red hair.
According to the results of a radio carbon analysis, it became known that the young man lived in the very first years of our era, and killed him, having sacrificed the gods.

Nine people died in the territory of Greenland during the Middle Ages. Special interest of scientists and curiosity, seasoned with fear, ordinary lovers of such find caused one of the mummies.

The first of them became the German tourist Helmut Simon, who decided to spend 100 thousand dollars received for the discovery for a re-journey to the location of the find, where he was overtaken death in the form of a snow storm.
Tutankhamon Torki . Now few people want that from his body after death made mummy, however there are exceptions.
Allan Billis voluntarily decided that his body was mummified, and also approved the broadcast of the process on television itself.
A 61-year-old taxi driver who died in 2011 from lung cancer received from journalists a nickname "Tutankhamomon Torka".
Dr. Stefan Buckley mummified Billis's corpse using the same technique that was used to embroider Tutankhamon. Thus, Allan became the first body in more than 1000 years, which was processed in this way.
Tarim Mummy . In the desert places of the Tarim Wpadin in China at the beginning of the 20th century, human remains were found, noteworthy in that they belonged to Europeans.
Presumably, these people went away in the XVII century BC. It's amazing that almost all of them had long blonde or red hair, which were blocked in braids, and they were wearing felt of felt and leggings with a checkered pattern.
One of the famous Tarim mummies was the so-called Lowlany Beauty - a young woman in about 180 cm with rusia hair. According to scientists, a woman lived 3,800 years ago.

In 1850, the graves of three members of the missing crew were discovered on the island of Beach, after which the search was stopped.
Only in 1984 a group of anthropologists went to the island. Oddly enough, all three bodies have been perfectly preserved without any external intervention.

Donsella. The surprisingly preserved body of a 15-year-old representative of the Inca tribe found on top of the Argentine Llullajllako volcano, located at an altitude of 6700 m above sea level.
Together with two other children, the girl was most likely brought sacrificing, leaving on top. Scientists found out that at the lifetime of Donsella suffered from illness, similar to tuberculosis.
In those days, such ailments could well lead to death, but the cause of the death of the girl was supercooling.
It's amazing how well the body is preserved without any special treatments.
Eva Peron. The wife of the President of Argentina Juan Pereon residents of the country were simply guarded, but on July 26, 1952, at the age of 33, Evita died from cancer.
It is not surprising that the doctors were instructed to glorify the body of the deceased so that wishes could see the favorite and after her death.
In 1955, the body of Evita was kidnapped by opponents of her husband and was gone for 15 years.
When Peron managed to marry repeatedly, the body of Evita returned to him. True, on the face of Mummy, traces applied to a blunt subject, and there was no finger on her hand.
Peron with a new wife, oddly enough, decided to keep the Mummy Eva at home. It is also known that the second spouse of the president every day combed Eva's hair and seated the corpse for the dining table. They even rumored that the woman fell into the coffin next to the late man, "hoping to absorb part of the magical energy of the Evita." Today the body of the first wife is buried in a family crypt.
Hambo Lama Dasha-Dorzho Haigelov . Buryat monk died in 1927, and on September 11, 2002, the exhumation of his body took place.

When the metropolitan scientists got to study the particle of his body, they were forced to state that the body of the Buddhist Lama is still alive ... this phenomenon of science cannot yet explain.
Each of us ever heard of mums at least in school lessons in the history of ancient Egypt, there are much more interesting stories about them than you can imagine.
The legendary wife of the President of Argentina Juan Peron died on July 26, 1952, when she was only 33 years due to cancerous disease. After death, her remains were preserved so that they could be put up during a mourning procession.
Three years later, the antipers' militants stole her mummified body, which later did not have anything known for 15 years. Later, her body was already returned to her former husband in a very bad condition, which put her on his own house, and his second wife allegedly combed her hair and even went down next to her in the coffin to absorb her greatness. Later her body was betrayed by land and now she rests in his family crypt.

Her skin was practically not damaged, hair and even eyebrows were preserved on the body.
It also discovered precious accessories, such as jade ring and silver hairpin, which still fastened her hair. Mummification was rarely used in China, which makes this discovery more unique.

Allan's wife commented on this situation saying: "I am the only woman in a country that has a mummy husband"

He calmly died in the middle of meditation and was soon buried in a pine drawer, sitting in a lotus position.

In 1984, the anthropologists group went to the Ice Island to exege the body of men who were very well preserved due to the climate of the frosty tundra.
