Entombed foods and contents of her stomach

This article should contain the information about what foods were found with her, and what was contained in her stomach (honeydew seeds.) I found that information in the Mawangdui article (the archaeological site where Xin Zhui was discovered.) It seems odd to leave that out of this article.68.12.225.100 (talk) 19:03, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

autopsy scientist's rash

When the autopsy on Xin Zhui's remains was done, contact with the fluid caused a rash on the hands of the scientists conducting it. The rash persisted on their skin for three months.

I am amazed that the "scientist" didn't take precautions, like using impermeable gloves, before conducting an autopsy. To do without was very foolish. I guess that's an example of 1970s thinking. --Mr. Lance E Sloan (talk) 13:15, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
