Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Kishoreji is right. The site refers this as an " illusion " . Well, i can comment on this as a researcher. The hair and nails are the only parts that have a different composition of protein called Keratin. Keratin is very complex in structure and cannot be degraded easily. In cultures were the body is buried,it takes ages for the hair and nails to decompose. Hence they appear fresh and growing even several years after death. Even in our culture, when we cremate, the nails and hair fall off and remain for a long time while the rest of the body shrinks into a pot of ashes.
