The article reports on the dispute between the National Historical Museum, the Museum of Natural History and the anthropological department of the University of Chile over the possession of a newfound, well-refrigerated human body that is believed to be at least 400 years old. Two students of University of Chile offered all their money to the two Andean mule drivers to buy the body. Thinking that the body should belong to the Museum of Natural History, Doctor Humberto Fuenzalida abducted the body and carried it off to his collection.
