I was thinking the same thing. Can't blame them for how they handled it, though. Removed from the coffin, there was no choice but to handle the body in the most scientific way they were able at the time and at least they documented it for us. Still can't help but wonder what more we could've gleaned from his body with modern forensics.

@kg2306 6 месяцев назад

It’s especially surprising that they didn’t at least keep whatever samples they initially took, often that’s usually what happens when modern day forensics does analysis: it’s not only easier hut often cheaper to first check if any testable remains still exist in a lab or museum. But to purge all things that had prior contact with the St Bees guy and lose all trace of DNA is weird, even for the early 1980’s!!!

On the whole, we would most likely have immunity to a distant descendant(s) of any pathogens found, so the chances of a zombie apocalypse would be pretty remote. What does make it potentially lethal for the excavating team in such circumstances however, is that a combination of putrefaction combined with the maintenance of liquefaction could harbour such vast amounts of pathogens that the immune systems of anyone in close attendance could be overwhelmed before they had any chance to resist. Luckily, our man was washed, wrapped in a naturally antiseptic cocoon, then tinned _(leaded actually)_ pretty smartly after death. A combination of the skill of the craftsmen who built the coffin, and its placement in a no doubt predominantly clay soil grave made for an air and watertight time machine!

This shows how much archaeological and medical techniques and technology have advanced.

Very little cutting of the body would be needed.
