Josh Bernstein and Ron Beckett restore together the mummy of Gemtasu's father, named Moymango. They use a local sap (called Kaumaka) to repair the skin on the skull. The sap is heat-sealed by blowing a charcoal stick to glowing. The glowing ember is held close to the surface of the sap and stoked until the sap smoothes and seals. Josh Bernstein invented this technique which we called "Dragon Breath". The villagers watch, inthe foreground Yangteng, Moymango's grandson.
