A well-preserved mummy
identified as a government official from the Qing Dynasty
(1644–1912)—China’s last imperial dynasty before the creation of the
Republic of China—has been unearthed from a construction site in
Xiangcheng City in central China’s Henan Province. Though the Chinese
did not deliberately preserve their dead as the ancient Egyptians did,
environmental conditions have naturally preserved many centuries- and
even millennia-old bodies there in remarkable condition, often with
clothing, footwear, hair, and even skin intact.
