A bizarre story that originated from the conspiracy theory blogosphere going viral on social media claims that in 1969, Soviet scientists covered up the discovery of a perfectly preserved 800-million-year-old human body. The perfectly preserved 800-million-year-old body of a beautiful girl was found inside an intricately designed marble casket at a coal mine outside the remote village of Rzhavchik Tisulskago in the Kemerovo region of Russia.

While many readers on Disclose TV dismissed the story as a fabrication based on the fairy tale “Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs,” some out-of-place artifact conspiracy theorists argued that the story was authentic and that Soviet scientists conspired with the communist authorities to cover up the discovery of the body because it disproved Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.

Some claimed that the story originated from a Russian language documentary (see YouTube below) first uploaded to YouTube in 2014. Others argued that the video stole images from a different case: the Taklamakan mummies discovered in the Chinese desert.

A Russian language video, according to versions subtitled in the English language, claims that the intricately crafted marble coffin containing the perfectly preserved body was found about 70 feet underground by local miners in 1969. The casket was first found by a miner identified as Karnaukhov.

Alexander Masalygina, the official in charge at the site located near the small and remote village of Rzhavchik Tisulskago in the Kemerovo region of Russia, ordered work to stop immediately after the miners discovered the mysterious and skilfully crafted marble coffin, according to the conspiracy theory blog Ancient Patriarchs.
