Buried monkey people died 153 years

The famous woman in the nineteenth century with the nickname 'female monkey' was buried in her hometown after losing nearly 150 years.

Julia Pastrana's embalmed body, passed away in 1860, was returned to mother earth in Mexico's Sinoa-de-Leyva City in a white rose casket. There were many people in the funeral, in the presence of Governor Mario Lopez, Science World Report.

The Mexican government did its best to revoke Julia Pastrana's body to return to the country after decades. From 1921 to 1950, this woman's corpse was displayed at the Amusement Park in the city of Lund (Norway), as a strange object to satisfy the curiosity of the world.

Recently, the body was preserved in a closed vest in the Anatomy Department of the University of Oslo. The decision to return her body to her homeland was only approved by the Norwegian Body Research Committee in the summer of 2012.

Julia Pastrana was born in 1834 with two rare congenital diseases, one of which is hypertrichosis, very thick hair, which grows all over her face. In addition, she has an unbalanced jaw, a short forehead, very large ears and nose, so the lower part of the face protrudes like a monkey's muzzle. From the age of 16 until she died, she worked in a circus in Mexico and was called 'female monkey' by everyone.

The 'female monkey' died in 1860 during a tour in Moscow due to complications during childbirth. That year she was only 26 years old. The son has inherited his mother's disease, so he died prematurely. In the few years after her death, the circus husband also went to the place where he brought his wife's mummy in the watch-glass.
