Best Mummy Ever - The 2,000-year-old preserved body of the Lady of Dai still has her own hair and soft skin

The body of Xin Zhui, left, also called the Lady of Dai who died more than 2,000 years ago, is considered the best preserved mummy ever discovered after being found in a tomb in China.

When she died more than 2,000 years ago she was overweight and was believed to have been suffering from high blood pressure, clogged arteries, diabetes and also had a severely damaged heart.

Her tomb was eventually discovered inside a hillside in Hunan in China when workers were trying to find an air raid shelter.
