Qing Dynasty female corpse tomb

When archaeologists opened the tomb, they were shocked, because the female corpse's expression and death posture were too terrifying and weird. She was as black as charcoal, her facial expression was very hideous her mouth was wide open, like a very painful howl, and her limbs were bent.

Even more terrifying is that there were deep scratches everywhere on her coffin. After anatomy and analysis by archaeologists, the secret behind this horrible female body was solved. It turned out that this woman suffered
dystocia during labor and fainted on the way. Her family mistakenly thought she was dead and buried her.

After waking up, the woma n found
that she was already in the dark tomb. She was terrified and shouted desperately. She ran out of oxygen and died of suffocation lipsrsealed cry

2) Sacrifice in Argentina

Mountaineers climbing near Aconcagua in Argentina in 1985 stumbled on a dark memento of the past. Nestled in a stone structure was the huddled mummy of a 7-year-old who died about 500 years ago.
It was an Incan Sacrifice. in which they would live for about a year before they were mummified in the temple. They suffered alot before they died.

3)Lucy

She was a female Australopithecus afarensis that lived around 3.2 million years ago, and was discovered in 1974. Her discovery was really the first to show a distinct link between apes and humans: Lucy had a small cranial capacity, yet the bone structure to walk upright. She also showed that bipedalism preceded the increase in brain size in human evolution.

The Screaming Mummy

In 1886, Gaston Maspero, head of the Egyptian Antiquities Service, discovered an unusual sarcophagus and a suitable tenant. A mummy wrapped in sheepskin, her hands and feet tied, and a creepy expression on her face.
With his mouth open, the dead man seemed to be screaming, or at least screaming until the last moment of his life.
