While some of it may be likely exaggerated, very often it is true and tested scientifically as well. <br /><br />While I do not doubt the possiblity of the miraculous in some cases, I have often however wondered if, at least sometimes, this lack of corruption is based more on the area of the world, the climate, or (as the article mentioned) high lime content, and the like, and perhaps that this could explain some of this phoenomena. It seems to almost always occur in Europe (and particularly Italy) but never in the USA or China for instance, at least from what I have read. That could be because there is just more excavation of such sites in Europe in the first place, but I wonder too if there is something in the air, climate, or land itself which has to do with it as well?<br /><br />Just an intriguing thought. And I love "True Blood." I fully expect to be a vampire for at least a few hundred years (during my Purgatory time perhaps) before heaven...I always have loved the night and now I take medicine for my diabetes made from the "bites" or saliva of gila monsters...maybe I am turning already lol. Of course I say that "tongue in cheek" OR, wait, is that a FANG???
