在意大利那不勒斯市中心一座古老的小教堂里,人们能够亲眼目睹几个世纪前流传下来的保存得十分完好的僵尸。在寂静中,这种景象显得尤其恐怖:两具呈站立姿势的尸体,一男一女,他们的身上显露出一些器官和复杂的静脉与动脉血管的缠结。史料表明,所有这一切的创造者是当时的圣塞韦罗亲王(San Severo)。据说,为了获得如此逼真的效果,这位热爱科学的亲王要向仍然活着的躯体中注射一种金属化的物质。那么,这些金属尸体究竟是如何形成的呢? In an old chapel in the center of Naples, Italy, people can witness the well-preserved zombies handed down centuries ago. In silence, this scene is particularly horrible: two standing bodies, one man and one woman, revealing organs and complex entanglements of veins and arteries. Historical facts show that all this creator was the then San Severo. It is said that in order to obtain such a realistic effect, the science-loving prince wants to inject a metalized substance into the still-living body. So, how did these metal corpses form?
