Xin Jiang Province, China one year ago...

The sound of an ice mower rumbled through thick layers of ice in the bowels of the earth, to dig up a precious discovery, which is a mummy of a man in long hair and wearing an ancient Chinese costume, which estimated to be a thousand years old.

The discovery was accidentally found by a worker who was washing his face in a cold water pool inside the cave.

He saw a person-shaped shadow on the surface of the ice at the bottom of the pool and immediately told the expedition chief, led by Suthiluck.

They discussed for several days about how to excavate the mummy without damaging the ice sheet which is presumed to preserve the mummy.

And also worked with local residents, rent the diving equipment and do the manual drill, because they could not carry the heavy equipment into the cave.

After cut the ice around the mummy, separating it from the floor without removing it from the ice cube, they pulled it up in a standing position using the help of rope and buoy.

The temperature of the water is very cold, making divers bet on their lives, trying to get the historical artifact out of the water.

"Is the mouth of the pond enough for the ice cube to get through? Lift it up carefully! Don't let the mummy get any damaged!" commanded an archaeologist to his subordinates who were transporting a mummy that trapped in the ice, which was found in 18 meters under the water.

"Has the cooler container arrived?" He asked again.

"On the way, will be arrive soon."

Since being lifted out, the ice layer that covered the mummy seems to start melting so that its size gets smaller, even though it is still twice size of the mummy.

"Why is it taking so long? If it's not immediately be cool, I'm afraid the ice will melt, this could affect the mummy's condition! Hurry up and call the people who was responsibled for the transportation!"

He said emotionally and impatience.

A moment later, the truck container finally arrived, the workers immediately transported that heavy and precious treasure carefully into it.

Most of the expedition workers and leaders were still inside digging and transporting the remaining valuable objects that had been buried together with the mummy.

Not long after the mummy container carrier departed, the land at the location around the excavation site was shaking due to the sudden earthquake.

The workers and the expert team panicked and ran, trying to get out of the cave, unfortunately when they almost reached the entrance suddenly the ground where they stood eroded, the rocks around the cave mouth fell and blocked the exit.

All those who were still inside were trapped, including the expedition leader team.

The survivors are only the workers and the team who responsible for monitoring and the communication that located outside the cave, as well as some workers who carry the excavated material.

A week later the SARS team managed to evacuate the people who were trapped and only 12 of the 69 that survived due to run out of oxygen and were hit by collapsing rocks.
