本文介绍了旨在验证朝鲜王朝墓葬中人体木乃伊化是由放热反应和随后的肠道微菌群破坏引起的假设的实验结果。那个时期保存完好的木乃伊只在Hoegwakmyo墓中发现，那里有石灰土混合物屏障。实验是用动物尸体放在微型坟墓模型中进行的。在与水分接触后，被石灰土混合物包围的棺材内的温度立即升高至130.8±23.5°C，并保持稳定141.0±64.7分钟。在MacConkey或血琼脂平板上进行细菌培养的检查表明，正常存在于大鼠肠道中的整个菌群被高温完全灭菌。我们还证明，无论微型坟墓的大小如何，都可以复制相同的木乃伊。
This article presents the results of experiments aimed at testing the hypotheses that mummifi cation of human bodies in Joseon Dynasty burials was caused by an exothermic reaction and subsequent destruction of intestinal microfl ora. Well-preserved mummies of that period were discovered only in the Hoegwakmyo tombs, where the lime-soil-mixture barrier was present. Experiments were conducted using animal bodies placed in miniature grave models. Immediately after contact with moisture, the temperature inside the coffi n surrounded by a lime-soil-mixture increased to 130.8±23.5°C and remained stable for 141.0±64.7 minutes. The examination of bacterial cultures on MacConkey or blood agar plates showed that the entire fl ora normally existing in the rat intestine was completely sterilized by high temperature. We also demonstrate that the same mummifi cation can be reproduced regardless of the sizes of miniature graves.
