500 year old mummy found in Himachal Pradesh

  • In the serene state of Himachal Pradesh, lies something murky and dark.
    We’ve all heard the stories of mummies, with a lot of intrigue and chill running down our spines. All the Mummy movies we watched help enhance our interest and intrigue. Now you may think that to get a first hand mummy experience (not the horror movie kinds) you’d have to go all the way to Egypt. But not necessarily. Our very own Himachal Pradesh in the north has a mummy that has been attracting attention from the world over. And why should it not? After all it’s 500 years old! The mummy of Sangha Tenzin a Buddhist mummy.
    • The Mummy vs The Buddhist Mummy

      Now you’ve heard of the Egyptian mummies, they usually come embalmed and then wrapped in muslin (the face white cloth that covers the mummy) but the mummy of Sangha Tenzin happens to be a Buddhist mummy, which means it looks very different.
      Not for the faint hearted, this mummy is well preserved and you can see its dark taut skin, remains of some hair on the head and his teeth gaping through thin lips
