Saint Bernard’s Mummies: Nature’s Unexplained Gift
In the small town of San Bernardo, Colombia, a mysterious phenomenon has turned buried bodies into natural mummies, baffling scientists for years. Unlike the ancient Egyptians who perfected mummification over centuries, these corpses in San Bernardo seem to petrify naturally after a period of rest. First noticed by a gravedigger 15 years ago, the bodies, mostly buried since the late 1950s, show unique signs of preservation with their skin turning pale and wrinkled. Despite extensive research, the exact cause remains elusive, though locals speculate it might be due to the region's water, soil temperature, or even the consumption of local fruits. Now displayed in museums, these mummies not only draw curious visitors but also spark debates among residents about the ethics of such exhibitions. What mysteries do you think these mummies hold?
