Photos: They found a mummified monk of 1.000 years old inside of a statue of Buda. According the research, the statue dated from the period between 1050 and 1150 years After Christ, and it's occupied by the corpse of a buddhist chinese master, Liuquan. The mummy's study was made under the supervision of Erik Brujin, an expert in buddhist culture, who was invited by the Museum of the World in Rotterdam to make the researches that revealed the fact.
