The text describes the discovery of a boy's mummy in Yangju, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, on November 15, 2001. The mummy was found during relocation work at the grave site of the Haepyeong Yun Clan. The mummy was frozen and had to be thawed one by one using body heat. The mummy was dressed in 12 pieces of clothing, including children's and adult clothing, and was in a fairly good state of preservation.
The mummy was estimated to be around 5.5 years old, based on forensic dentistry. The age was further confirmed using radiocarbon dating, which estimated the boy's death to have occurred after 1440 AD. The mummy's hair was observed to be clean with no damaged cuticles, and heavy metals such as calcium, potassium, and lead were detected when the hair was analyzed.
The mummy's genetic testing revealed six genotypes, and the Korean database was completed. The testing was a challenge due to the age of the mummy and potential interference from substances in the ground. However, the testing was successful and provided valuable information about the mummy's ancestry.
The mummy was part of a larger group of mummies discovered in Korea, most of which were from the Joseon Dynasty. These mummies were often found during the process of moving cemeteries due to land development. The mummies were preserved naturally without any artificial processing, and they contained various relics that could identify the individual.
The text also mentions the discovery of a woman's mummy in Hadong, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea, in 2006. The mummy was found to have a disease called fibrous dysplasia, which was confirmed by a CT scan. The presence of parasites in the mummy's stool and intestinal contents was also discovered. The mummy's diet, based on historical records, was suggested to be a major factor in the disease.
The text concludes by highlighting the importance of mummy research. It emphasizes that studying a mummy is not just about revealing the cause of death, but also about drawing a line between the past, present, and future based on the information obtained through mummies. Mummy research is a long-term project whose results must be accumulated over a long period of time.
