Mummification is a technique that uses chemicals to make sure the dead bodies are not decomposed after they die. If in the past, mummification was only applied according to a certain formula, now this work has more diverse options, with many different chemicals.

Along with the outstanding development of science and technology, the embalming work has made much progress. There were many corpses after being mummified and still remained on the faces and bodies, not distorted, wrinkled.

It is these advances that help the deceased keep their natural style and beauty - making them look like they are falling asleep.

1. Saint Bernadette

Saint Bernadette (1844 - 1897) whose real name was Marie Bernarde Soubirous , was born in 1844 and was the daughter of a miller at Lourdes (France).

Many people reported that, on February 11, 1858, Bernadette had the opportunity to witness the Virgin Mary appear in front of her eyes in a cave by the river. After that event, she decided to follow the path of cultivation.

In 1867, Bernardette was inferior but still tried to work as a nurse. Her health weakened and could not work anymore. In 1877, the illness became severe and she died in the midst of Easter week in 1879 when she was 35 years old. A miracle came for this pious woman: after her body died, there was no sign of decay.

While performing a religious ritual in 1909, her body was unearthed and all witnesses were surprised to see Bernadette more like sleeping than having died.

Bernadette still retains the beauty of facial beauty and perfect skin. Today, her body is displayed at the chapel in Lourdes and used a little wax to keep Bernadette's body perfect in a glass casket.

Rosalia's father - Mario is heartbroken at the death of his young daughter. Therefore, he went to professional mummified house Alfredo Salafia with the desire to retain the permanent image of Rosalia.

He then asked to preserve the body of the daughter in the tomb of Capuchin in Palermo (Italy). Rosalia is the last case received in the 8000 mummies here.

To embalm the baby Rosalia, first, the girl's blood was replaced with formalin . Next, alcohol and glycerin are used to keep her body dry without complete dehydration.

Salicylic acid has then been added to prevent growing body fungi. And finally, zinc salts have been added to the purpose of making "dead " corpses .

Thanks to this preservation method, until now, Rosalia's body has not shown signs of decomposition. Rosalia's face is still lovely and fresh as if she is sleeping soundly.

The blond hair is still intact on her tanned cherry skin. When sleeping looking at her like an angel, Rosalia is praised as the " most beautiful mummy in the world".

She was admired by the Argentinians for fighting for the right to vote for women, ensuring the interests of workers and establishing hospitals as well as orphanages. So after Evita died, people decided to embalm her body as a show of gratitude and respect.

The mummification of her body was done by the famous professor of anatomy Pedro Ana. To perform mummification, the amount of blood and water in her body will be completely replaced with glycerin solution . All organs including the brain are removed and stored carefully.

At the time of life, the Evita possessed so much beauty that when she died, her body was shimmering. After a coup in Argentina, her body was stolen in 1955 and hidden in Italy. Her enchanting beauty caused a guard to ' shake' and confess to being ' sympathetic'.
