A traditional statue of Buddha that has an origin from the 11th or 12th century was recently revealed to be quite a bit more than meets the eye. To prove the claim, a CT scan procedure and endoscopy was done by the Netherlands-based Drents Museum at the Meander Medical Centre in Amersfoort. The results showed that the ancient statue fully encases the mummified remains of a Buddhist master known as Liuquan of the Chinese Meditation School.
