The ancient Siberian creature revived, operating after 42,000 years of freezing

The ancient worm revived after 42,000 years of buried under permafrost promises to help scientists achieve a breakthrough in freezing technology.

According to The Sun, Russian scientists dug up an ancient worm that froze from the mammoth period.

Two Siberian worms have moved and eaten for the first time since the Pleistocene, Russian scientists said. The two worms were brought to Russia by Russian scientists for analysis at a research institute near Moscow.

"We have demonstrated the resilience of multicellular organisms after thousands of years of freezing," the Russian team said .

'After thawing, the worms showed signs of life, began to move and eat , ' the report said.

A worm was found frozen in 2015 in the area near the Alazeya River. It is said to be 41,700 years old. The other worm was found in 2002 in a cave in the lower Kolyma River and froze for 32,000 years.

Russian researchers have successfully revived two ancient worms 42,000 years ago.

These two worms were found near scientists studying the Arctic environment during mammoths.

Scientists believe that this finding shows: 'the survival of multicellular organisms in thousands of years of freezing'.

The scientific journal Doklady Biological Sciences stressed: 'This finding has important implications for research areas related to freezing technology '.

In Russia and the US, there are special facilities specializing in freezing people, preserving internal organs and tissues in the hope that future scientific advances can help these people to revive.
