Based on the results of the forensic examinations that are being carried out on the remains, investigators believe he was a man who may have been a Lama, or a teacher of Tibetan Buddhism. The mummified monk was taken to National Centre of Forensic Expertise for further examination, as revealed by The Telegraph.
And the monk’s body did not appear to show signs of decay and Itigilov apparently remained in the lotus position when his body was examined by Buddhist monks in 1955 and again in 1973. Probably the salt in the coffin may have played a vital part in slow decaying. Others factors like the soil and the coffin’s condition added to the possibilities. Truly, history has many things to unfold!
