Is This Really a Mummy?

Horrible, but true:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jry_lZK6NpE&feature=related
Anyway, anyone here speak italian? This child has been dead for almost 90 years-how could a human body retain such a lifelike appearence? Especially hen you see the horrible “mummies” in this tomb!
I suspect the body is a wx statuenobody lloks this good-dead!:confused:

I saw that child 25 years ago when I was in Sicily. They insist it is really a little girl. It looked pretty lifelike.

Well, I’m a believer.

As I say, I cannot belive that any corpse could be so well preserved-even the late Evita Peron (embalmed at a cost >$36,000) looked so good.
Anybody know if such perfect preservation can be done today?

Loads of arsenic do the trick.
