Monk inside Buddha: CT Scan of 1000 y.o Buddha Statue reveals Mummified Monk Hidden Inside

Mummified remains of a monk have been found encased in a Buddha statue dating back to the 11th or 12th Century. 

Erik Bruijn, an Buddhism expert, led the study that determined the mummy was of Buddhist master Liuquan, who belonged to the Chinese Meditation School.

The CT scan and endoscopy were carried out by Drents Museum at Meander Medical Centre in the Netherlands.
