The mysterious phenomenon of unbroken corpses

There are corpses that have not been rotten through time without experiencing any technical intervention. The phenomenon that seems to go against this natural law is called the incorruptible body. St. Bernadette (Lourder, France) is a good example. She died at the age of 35. And 30 years later (1909), for a religious ceremony, the church excavated the tomb. The church representative, the surgeon and the witnesses were shocked when her body was still intact, seemingly in a long sleep.

Tourdan surgeon recorded what he observed: 'Her coffin was opened in the presence of everyone including me. Saint Bernadette's comedy in her favorite outfit did not smell bad. The face, hands and forearms are exposed to the outside. Her head tilted to one side, her mouth half-opened and white teeth could be seen. Hands on the chest, still retaining the perfect skin '. The family of St. Bernadette performed a bathing, dressing and coffin for her. Her remains were placed in a new place deep in the tomb.

In 1913, Pope Pius 10 canonized Saint Bernadette. This means that her grave is opened again. This was interrupted until 1919 because of the First World War. The amazing thing is that at this excavation, her remains are still intact.

In 1925, Bernadette was again canonized by Pope Pius 11. The third time, her tomb is opened. The remains were brought into a crystal casket for everyone to admire and gather at the chapel at Lourder Church until now.

Religious documents record many instances of ' indestructible body ' saints. Saint Jean Marie Baptiste Vieanney (1786-1859) was unearthed in 1904, the body was also intact. St. Francis Xavier (1506-1552) is buried in an island in China in a wooden coffin. About two and a half months later, people unearthed his grave to move, seeing the holy being as alive. Currently his 400-year-old remains remain intact and kept in Goa (India).

The indestructible bodily phenomenon is not only recognized in Christianity, but also many other religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism. The excavation of the Great Itigelove monk (1852-1927, Siberia, Russian Federation) in 2002 was astonishing. The shroud's body was covered in silk, wrapped in a cedar wooden coffin, buried under a grave. When excavated, his body was still intact, his skin smooth and smooth, his joints could be stretched. Currently, his body is being kept at Ivogisky Datsan.

The method turned itself into a mummy without using any techniques recorded in Japan as Sokushibutsu. Practitioners will practice special diets and practices. They choose the date and time to take away and instruct how and where to bury themselves. In Yamagata region (North Japan) there are about 16-24 'embalmed ' bodies found.

Science is looking for a solution

Religious materials generally assume that the phenomenon of saints, monks and nuns reaching indestructible bodies is due to supernatural powers, or cultivating to the point that they wash themselves to the point that their bodies cannot decompose.

Scientists are still studying this phenomenon, but in a different direction. One hypothesis is that in very special environmental and material conditions (such as temperature, humidity, anaerobic), the bacteria that are destroyed by natural decay cannot be performed .

The evidence given by scientists is a 5,000-year-old natural mummy of a Celtic man found on the Apls range (Austria). The whole mummy was unknowingly preserved by frost on the high mountain. Or mummies of people and animals aged 5,500 years, found in marshes in Northern Europe, the United Kingdom, Ireland, intact due to the swampy, anaerobic, invisible marsh environment. kill the bacteria.

Russian scientists are using the most modern means of analysis to understand the indestructible phenomenon of Grand Master Itigelov. They hypothesized that, perhaps in the process of spiritual practice, hardship, he used chemicals available in nature, following a certain secret sequence in daily eating to ' clean ' the muscles. can. And so his body did not decompose even under normal conditions. In order to prove this hypothesis, scientists need a lot of documents related to the master's cultivation process, but this is always kept secret and almost inaccessible to ordinary people.

So far, there is no basis to explain indestructible body humiliation. This phenomenon is covered by a virtual curtain, and all are still hypotheses.
