Something strange was recently discovered on an ancient statue Buddhist, located at Drents Museum in the Netherlands: there is a mummy inside. No one knew when the statue first arrived, but after investigation, they realized it contained the body of a Buddhist monk.
The museum sent the ancient artifact out of Meander Medical Center ( Meander Medisch Centrum in Dutch) to the statue through a CT scanner. They hoped to get a clear picture of the mummy inside. View photos of the statue mummy below.
