Forensic examination to be made on well preserved remains of possible Lama teacher.
This extraordinary picture shows the mummifed male body which is believed to be several centuries old. It was found at 6.30 pm 27 January 2015 in Songinokhairkhan province, reported Mongolia's
Morning Newspaper.
© 'Өглөөний сонин'A 'meditating mummy' found on 27th of January in Mongolia.
'The mummified body sits in a lotus position, as if still meditating.
'Experts that only had time to carry basic visual test say they believe the body can be about 200 years old'.
The report added: 'So far there is no information as to where the body was found. The only details we learned was that it was covered with a cattle skin'.
It was not clear if it was the skin of a cow, horse, or camel, said the report. The mummy was delivered to Ulaanbataar National Centre of Forensic Expertise'.
Initial speculation is that the mummy could be a teacher of famous Lama Dashi-Dorzho Itigilov.
Dashi-Dorzho Itigilov, born in 1852, was a Buryat Buddhist Lama of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, best known for the lifelike state of his body.
His remains were reported not to be subject to macroscopic decay.
This article is full of false assumptions !
In lotus position, both feet are over the thighs.
On the picture feet are UNDER the thighs.
So he's not "in lotus position", but just cross-legged.
Moreover, the corpse is maybe 200 years old, but the guy died most probably long before he was 200 years old !
Last, how one knows the guy died while meditating and not trying to warm himself (winters and even summers may be quite cold in Mongolia !) ?
So the title and the article are fuzzy and fallacious pretending that this mummy was that of an unknown lama, 200 years old, died while meditating in lotus position !
It's more probably an ordinary guy, a few decades old, died while trying to warm himself up during a cold nigh or season. And more probably his corpse got mummified due a dry and cold air, not because he was a lama with special powers.
PS : why SOTT published such a heap of bullshit ?
