The statue of Christ was x-rayed by experts in Mexico from Mexico’s National School. They found human teeth inside the statue. Earlier, it was seen that the teeth and nails in statues were made from animal bones. People usually donated their hair and clothes for the statue in the 18th century. The teeth in the statue were rare. This made the statues look real. This shocked the experts.
