Eo Ire Itum

Ireland

Preserved bodies in the crypt under St. Michan's Church. The three ones at the front are 400 years old and the one at the back died in the crusades and is over 800 years old.
They are preserved in the very dry air under the church. The walls are made of lime stone which draws the moisture out of the air.

That is just amazing. You are reigniting my travel bug for Britain ... I've never travelled but Britain is where I still want to go the most *sigh*
