Yes, this is exactly the original conclusion that German scientists came to. They faced an unusual problem. In Germany, there is a practice - in cemeteries, graves are freed that have not been looked after for 30 years.
It turned out that modern dead people do not decompose.
These graves are quite fresh by German standards, but their time will come someday. This is how the funeral business works in Germany: I lay down on my own, after 30 years, if no one visits you, a kind of rent for the grave for a relative does not pay - make way for another. The cold-blooded shovels and normally fearless graveyard staff are now horrified at their work.
German gravediggers experience colossal stress, digging up the almost living dead. In the damp earth, they do not become truly dead. For decades, their bodies do not decompose due to improper irrigation systems in cemeteries and lack of oxygen. As strange as it sounds, the corpses do not have enough air.

Together with the "cadaveric waters" dangerous bacteria and parasites leave the ground. The psychological atmosphere in the cemetery collectives and the safety of the population were seriously taken up at the Kiel Institute of Soil Science. After much trial and error, it turned out that even an ordinary 20-liter watering can is sometimes enough to "extend" the afterlife.
Iris Zimmermann, employee of the Institute of Soil Science (Kiel): “In many cemeteries, there is an insufficient concentration of oxygen in the soil, without which the bodies simply cannot decompose. And then there is too much watering, finally "blocking" the access of fresh air. Because of this, our cemeteries are now dominated by the so-called "wax figures".
Promotional video:
The Kiel scientists only "opened" the door to this unexplored world of the dead, which has already become so modern that the phenomenon of "wax figures" began to haunt Germany in those federal states where oxygen is not "cut off" to human remains. The process of decomposition is impeded by fashionable clothes in which a person is buried; all kinds of medicines and products from supermarkets, mainly meat, stuffed with antibiotics. And in general, "eating incorrectly" is harmful not only for life.
Ellen Fitze, Pathologist: “What is a" dead wax "is nothing more than an overly fatty body in which fat cells preserve tissue so well that bacteria and oxygen cannot get inside, disrupting the course of natural decay. So being overweight not only during life, but also after death can give us a lot of trouble.
Employees of German cemeteries are gradually recovering from the shock, but they do not part with the watering cans. True, they are now dosed with water, and they try to turn all new "clients" into dust immediately after death.
Karsten Steffens, cemetery manager: “Almost in all cemeteries in our region, relatives are now offered cremation. In some areas, it is simply forbidden to bury in coffins, and we advise the mourners not to overdo it with watering. Well, from time to time we add a special substrate to our lands that allows air to pass through well”.
At the same time, the nature of "silicone" and "botox" has not yet been fully investigated and practically in cemeteries. However, a skeleton with an artificial breast or a skull with pumped lips will surely cause another attack of fear. Or a terrible laugh.
