"It must be the height or the humidity level of the location where the corpse was found," Tian Dongmin recalled. "The corpse was well-preserved. Even the hair on the head and the clothes on the body were distinguishable. As we are all archeologists, we could easily tell that the corpse belonged to the Ming Dynasty!"
"The corpse belongs to a middle-aged man, but the cause of his death was unknown."
"The odd thing we discovered was the piece of cow skin in the hands of the corpse. The cow skin looked like it had been treated with Chinese wood oil. Despite the fact that it had been around for so many years, it did not have any sign of decomposition."
"We cautiously removed the piece of cow skin from the hands of the corpse. When we unfolded the piece of cow skin, we were surprised to see some writings on it."
"Dong Peizhuo, someone with profound knowledge in languages could decipher and read out the writings on the spot!"
