LOS ANGELES Lady Dai was a Chinese nobleman's wife in her mid-50s when she died of a heart attack. She was overweight, had diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, liver disease, gallstones and her arteries were almost totally clogged.
She didn't live the healthiest life but she left behind one of the most perfectly preserved bodies in history. She was buried about 2,100 years ago. Her tomb was found in the early 1970s on Mawangdui, a hill in Changsha, near the capital of Hunan Province in China. More than 1,400 equally well-preserved artifacts found around her were designed to help her in the afterlife.
...
The museum will host "Noble Tombs at Mawangdui" from Sept. 19 to Dec. 13.

Whoops! Thanks Xenalyte.
:whispers: (It’s all the preservatives in today’s food/fast food/healthy food that causes high cholesterol.
I’m 65 ~ I have always eaten butter, whole milk, red meat with lots of fat, bacon and pork with lots of fat, cottage cheese, cheeses, and I cook with lard. My cholesterol is consistenly around 160.
Any questions?
PS: I LOVE Wisconsin cheeses!!!
I would say there is a strong family resemblance to Kim Jong Ill
What would be nice to find in these old tombs are intact versions of China’s ancient military writings. Sun Tzu, Wu Tzu, Ssu-ma etc.
Well, that's always a given!
Whoa!
