Scientists, like all kinds of independent researchers, including religious ones, are still amazed at the unique mummy - a two-year-old girl Rosalia Lombardo, who has retained her amazing freshness for 97 years, as if the child had not died, but only fell asleep.
Why is this phenomenon haunted by scientists? The fact is that the girl does not change over the years. And it's hard to find a logical explanation for this:
- Let's say, scientists say that Dr. Alfredo Salafii, who performed this embalming immediately after the death of Rosalia on December 6, 1920 (the girl lived only two years and died of pneumonia, after which her father decided to save the body of his beloved daughter as a keepsake), possessed some kind of miraculous way of mummifying corpses. However, the technology of embalming Salafia was found in his archives of manuscripts, and experts did not find anything in it that could somehow explain the phenomenon with the "sleeping beauty";
- Sometimes, religious leaders argue (let us clarify, the burial of the girl Rosalia was practically the last in the history of the Capuchin catacombs in Palermo and unremarkable), the body of a saint can retain its vitality, which is most often observed in Buddhist monks, who almost completely do not die. But in this case, all this does not fit in with the death and embalming of the most ordinary two-year-old girl;
- Perhaps Rosalia Lombardo, ufologists suggest, is not quite an earthly girl, and therefore aliens took part in her embalming, as well as death, and they preserve her body for some kind of future resurrection;
- The mystics agree with this statement, who, such a fabulous (as in Pushkin's "Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Heroes"), the alleged resurrection is correlated only not with aliens, but with the otherworldly forces of the Kingdom of the Dead.
Facts and evidence that the mummified girl is alive

Meanwhile, the body of Rosalia Lombardo, being in a glass coffin, has practically not changed for a whole century, even the blonde hair, the girl's eyelashes look like living ones, and the bluish eyes, of course, continue to look at this world, because they sometimes open slightly. Let it be quite a bit, but this is enough to amaze the imagination of tourists who flock here from all over the world in order to look at this miracle.
But is it only the trembling of the eyelids that affects this mummy? The attendants claim that some miracles are constantly happening near the glass coffin: either the key will fall from the grate that closes the entrance here, then the girl sighs, then the monks will hear steps in her crypt. And one caretaker named Donatello even "went mad with reason", claiming that once Rosalia opened her eyes completely and looked at him with her blue eyes, full of hypnotic attractiveness and incredible strength. It must be said that the monks claim that the girl's body exudes a pleasant smell of wildflowers and, most often, lavender. And although this does not always happen, the fact itself is simply amazing.
Skeptics, of course, do not believe in all this, explaining the trembling of the mummy's eyelids by the play of light, for example, this point of view is shared by the caretaker of the catacombs, an ardent materialist Dario Piombino-Maskali. However, scientists installed modern equipment that monitors the mummy, and this is what struck them: the computer recorded weak impulses from Rosalia's brain, which can only be in one case - the girl is sleeping, but she is not dead - fantastic and nothing more.
But that's not all: a modern video camera, which can shoot in slow motion, for example, a flower blooming or a swelling of a bud, has recorded that the mummy's eyelids are actually opening slightly. So to blame everything on the play of light and the conjectures of the monks does not work …
