Human brain boiled in its skull lasted 4000 years
It may look like nothing more than a bit of burnt log, but it is one of the oldest brains ever found.... The skeletons were found burnt in a layer of sediment that also contained charred wooden objects. Given that the region is tectonically active, Altinoz speculates that an earthquake flattened the settlement and buried the people before fire spread through the rubble. The flames would have consumed any oxygen in the rubble and boiled the brains in their own fluids. - - October 2013 - New Scientist
