#XinZhui One of the most well preserved
#mummies also known as Lady Dai or Marquise of Dai, was the wife of
#LiCang the Marquis of Dai, during the Western Han dynasty of ancient
#China. She gained fame more than 2,000 years after her death, when her
#tomb was discovered. Xin Zhui's body was remarkably well preserved in an unknown fluid inside the coffin. Her skin was soft and moist, with muscles that still allowed for her arms and legs to flex at the joints. All her organs and blood vessels were also intact, with small amounts of Type A blood being found in her veins. Xin Zhui died around 50 years of age in 168 BC. Her cause of death was a heart attack, due to years of poor health. A total of 138 melon seeds were found in her stomach, intestines and
#esophagus . It is inferred that she died in summer. The presence of food in her stomach also indicates that she died within two to three hours after eating the melon. More than 1,000 items ranging from drink and food vessels, to silk clothing and tapestries, to figurines of musicians and mourners were found in her tomb.
