Sleeping Beauty

Rosalia Lombardo
Have you heard about her?
She is one of 2,000 mummified bodies buried in a catacomb at Palermo, Sicily.


She died at the age of two 1920 and is still well-preserved till date. She looks like a little princess sleeping. Hence, receiving the name " Sleeping Beauty". With the huge ribbon above her head and body covered by the blanket really make her look as if she's still sleeping.
Supernatural and creepy? And now my wonders begin. Wondering how she died, her family and how did her father approached the embalmer and how did he embalmed her. The most beautiful mummy I've ever seen. EVER.
