The identity of the woman, buried in 1787 under the Barfüsser church in Basel, has always been a mystery, the Basler Zeitung reported. Genealogists identified it as Anna Catharina Bischoff, the great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother of the Foreign Secretary. It was the mercury that was likely responsible for her death in 1787 at the age of 68 - and responsible, as well, for her body's uncommon preservation in the 230 years since. Since 1975, when her mummified body was unearthed in a church in the Swiss city of Basel, she had been a scientific mystery - a well-preserved corpse buried with proofs of her wealth, who for lack of identification took on a distinguished title: the Lady from Barfüsser church. The 230-year-old unknown mummy was discovered four decades ago during excavations of Barfusser church in Basel. A further clue was that the body was full of mercury, which during the 15th to 19th Century, was a treatment for syphilis. Genetic material extracted from the big toe of the mummy was compared to DNA donated by modern members of the Bischoff family. Historians then concluded, through thousands of hours in the Basel State Archives, that the mummy was a member of a well-established local family, the Bischoffs. That revealed, with 99.8% certainty, that the descendants and the mummy were all from the same maternal line. The research confirmed the woman was Anna Catharina. She lived in Strasbourg with her church minister husband for much of her adult like. She had contracted syphilis, probably from treating sufferers of the disease. Bischoff had seven children, two of whom reached adulthood, and one of her daughters married a baron by the name of Pfeffel von Kriegelstein. But the mercury also preserved her body - allowing today's researchers to find out exactly who she was, and who her descendants are. Mr Johnson has yet to comment on the discovery of his long lost relative, but he is aware of the von Pfeffel connection, having once told the BBC programme Who Do You Think You Are? that they were "posh toffs". Wilfred Johnson did not know his father Ali Kemal, though the latter was a Turkish politician and opposition journalist murdered in the 1920s.

Švicarska je ovih dana doznala da njihova najpoznatija mumija ima i dobro poznatog rođaka: britanskog ministra vanjskih poslova Borisa Johnsona. Mumificirani ostaci pronađeni su 1975. tijekom obnove gotičke crkve Barfuesserkirche u Baselu, objavio je u četvrtak prirodoslovni muzej u tom gradu. Tijelo je kasnije identificirano i utvrđeno je da pripada Anni Catharini Bischoff, pastorovoj supruzi koja je umrla 1787., navodi se u priopćenju. Uz pomoć povijesnih dokumenata, paleoatropoloških i DNA uzoraka istraživački tim došao je do iznenađujućeg otkrića. Muzej je otkrio da je kćer gospođe Bischoff, Anna Katharina Gernler, pra-pra-pra-pra-pra-pra-prabaka britanskog šefa diplomacije Borisa Johnsona. Gospođa Bischoff živjela je od 1719 do 1787. Njeni ostaci sadržavaju visoke razine žive, koja se obično u ona doba pa sve do 19. stoljeća koristila za liječenje sifilisa. Dok je tretman živom obično završavao smrću pacijenta, kod gospođe Bischoff pomogao je očuvanju njezina tijela. Britanski šef diplomacije Johnson kazao je da je sretan zbog otkrića obiteljskih veza. "Vrlo sam uzbuđen zbog vijesti o mojoj pokojnoj pra-pra-prabaki, pioniru brige o seksualnom zdravlju", napisao je Johnson na Twitter računu. "Vrlo sam ponosan", dodao je. Prije dvije godine otkriveni su povijesni dokumenti koji su pokazali moguću vezu između otkrivenih mumificiranih ostataka i pastorove žene. To je pokrenulo potragu za živim nasljednikom kako bi se mogla obaviti DNA analiza korištenjem uzorka sline. Stručnjak Albert Zink, koji je postao poznat 1991. zbog svojih istraživanja o Oetziju, mumiji pronađenoj u Oeztalskim Alpama, planinskom lancu između Italije i Austrije, izdvojio je DNA iz nožnog prsta mumije. Iako je samo dvoje od sedmero djece pastora Bischoffa preživjelo, a jedna od dviju kćerki nije nikada imala djece, istraživači su uspjeli doći do nasljednika, koji i danas žive u istome gradu. Analizom sline identitet gospođe Bischoff potvrđen je sa 99.8-postotnom sigurnošću. NAPOMENA: Komentari odražavaju stavove njihovih autora, a ne nužno i stavove portala ŠIBENIK.IN.
