The stone coffin is very large, surprisingly containing a hidden compartment inside.
The ancient corpse in the upper layer is adorned with gold and silver, even wearing a crown, signifying a distinguished identity, presumably a noble or ruler of this ancient kingdom.
The ancient corpse has decayed to just a skeleton, which is quite normal.

The body of the preserved flesh is dressed as a soldier guard.
Logically, it would make sense for the nobles to use secret techniques to preserve their bodies, but the situation is the opposite.
