Child’s Stone Age Grave in Finland Reveals Nordic Funerary Customs
A Stone Age burial site in Majoonsuo in the municipality of Outokumpu in eastern Finland has provided an exceptional find during an archaeological dig. Buried underneath a gravel road in a forest in Finland, tooth fragments belonging to a child living 6,000 years ago in the Mesolithic period, with animal furs and bird feathers also retrieved from the grave.
While the bones of the child did not survive the onslaught of time, this fascinating discovery has shed light on the funerary customs of Nordic communities and is the subject of a new study, published in PLOS One journal. The study has provided valuable insights about burial habits in the Stone Age, showing how ancient Nordic communities prepared the child for the journey after death.

IncrediƄly – Muммies Of An Inuiᴛ Faмily Of Eighᴛ Were Buried Aliʋe In Greenland 500 Years Ago
A faмily of eighᴛ Inuiᴛ including a six-мonth-old 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 Ƅoy are picᴛured frozen in ᴛiмe froм 500 years ago.
Three sisᴛers with their three daughᴛers and their sons, four and six мonths old were discoʋered aᴛ the aƄandoned Qilakiᴛsoq encaмpмenᴛ which lies on the Nuussuaq Peninsular near Uuммannaq, Greenland.
Grouse hunᴛers Hans and Jokuм Grønʋold uncoʋered the group in 1972 in a shallow caʋe Ƅeneath a rocky ouᴛcrop. Because the мuммies were so well-preserʋed the мen reporᴛed their findings ᴛo the police.

A Pit Full Of 6,200-Year-Old Skeletons Is Now The Oldest Known Example Of ‘indiscriminate, Mass Killing
The researchers found no clues as to who killed the people in the pit, or why.
The fact that there were nearly the same number of men and women ruled out the idea that the victims died in “a battle between two armed forces,” the study authors wrote.
DNA from 38 of the skeletons revealed that 11 were close kin, but the other 70% of the victims weren’t related. So the killers weren’t targeting a particular family either.
These findings, coupled with the wide age range of the dead, points to seemingly indiscriminate, systematic violence, according to Ahern.
The killers could have been rivals of the Lasinja people, or perhaps Lasinja themselves, Novak said.
One possible explanation for the mass killing could be some type of climatic upheaval. When the climate changes, resources like crops, livestock, and water can become scarce. If that scarcity overlaps with a population boom, it can prompt groups to try to take over others’ territories and resources, Ahern said.

Archaeologists Discover Roman Empire Bodies With ‘Amputated Legs And Bashed Skulls’, Evidence Of Human Torture
Astandard excavation took a disturbing turn when workers uncovered the dismembered remains of three men, likely over 1,500 years old, ahead of a road project in England.
Archaeologists discovered two bodies with ᴀᴍᴘᴜᴛᴀᴛᴇᴅ legs and ʙᴀsʜᴇᴅ skulls and another skeleton severed at the waist in a Roman well just over 150 feet away. The men probably lived near the end of the Roman Britain era from 42 to 410 AD when emperor Claudius invaded the country, senior archaeologist Kasia Gdaniec told the Guardian in a story published Monday.
The legless men were placed carefully by their shoulders, the archaeologists said, with their heads turned away from each other. One of the skeleton’s teeth and bones remained intact, so the team hopes to test the remains to uncover their age and clues to their violent burial.
The Romans often publicly mutilated and executed deserters, slaves who attempted to escape and Christians who refused to worship Roman gods. Debtors who owed several creditors were often “cut into pieces by them in proportion to their shares,” according to a 1922 paper archived by Johns Hopkins University.
A 2016 British excavation uncovered seven decapitation burials with bodies often separated from their heads; one skull was even placed between the knees. Though research claims decapitation was sometimes considered a way to “ease entry” to the afterlife, the findings are more likely a window into the violence of the Roman empire, where unusual crime and punishment was standard well into the first few centuries AD.
Recent archaeological digs have revealed similarly gruesome findings: a skeleton crushed by a rock as he attempted to escape the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii; the foot of a man with a hole through his heel, only the second skeleton to show evidence of crucifixion, and mass graves of soldiers killed in the Napoleonic War.

80 Shackled Skeletons Found in Greek Grave After Ancient Mᴀss Ex*****on
Archeologists offered a first image of the site where 80 skeletons in a mᴀss grave with wrists clamped by iron shackles lie in an ancient Greek cemetery
The skeletal remains show the bodies were placed in a row upon death.
The archaeologists team said that the fossils, which could dated from 632BC, were the result of a mᴀss ex*****on.
But how they got there, who they were and why they appear have been buried with a measure of respect is still a mystery.
They were located in the Falyron Delta necropolis , a large ancient cemetery that was uncovered in the construction of the building of a national opera house and library between central Athens and Piraeus port.
While the bodies were handcuffed at the wrists, expert say the ᴅᴇᴀᴅ were buried with respect.
On a rare tour of the site, however, archeologists showed journalists carefully the skeletons, some lying in a long elegant row in the soil dug-out ground, others crammed with each other, arms and feet twisted, their jaws hanging open.
“They have been executed, all in the same manner. But they have been buried with respect,” head of excavations Dr Stella Chryssoulaki said.
“They are all tied at the hands with handcuffs and most of them are very young and in a very good state of health when they were executed.”
Experts hope DNA testing and research by anthropologists will uncover exactly how the rows of people died.
The orderly way they have been buried suggest these were more than slaves or common criminals.
More than 1,500 bodies are buried in the ancient Falyron Delta cemetery in Athens.
The cemetery dates from between the 8th and 5th century BC.
“It is a period of great unrest for Athenian society, a period where aristocrats, nobles, are battling with each other for power,” Dr Chryssoulaki said.
One of the strongest theories is that they were supporters of Cylon, an Athenian noble and Olympic champion who staged an attempted coup in Athens in 632BC with the help of his father-in-law, the tyrant of Megara.
Experts say the people who were killed were supporting a failed ancient coup.
The coup failed and Cylon hid in a temple of the Acropolis. He managed to escape, but the people who backed him were killed.

The enigmatic Green Stone of the Great Temple in Hattusa, Turkey, which was the capital of the Hittite Empire. Its history and its origins have no been identified. believed to have had religious significance.
The stone’s type is also unknown, most likely a type of jade or serpentine, both types of stone are found in the geology of the region, and although such stones aren’t rare in the region, the fact that this one has managed to survive to this day in one piece and is significantly different from others in the area has attracted a lot of attention.
Locals have long referred to it as a "wishing stone".

Ancient Vampire Burial: The “Vampire” skeleton was staked through its leg and had a small stone in its mouth
The skeleton had a stake driven through its leg and a small rock in its mouth, both common features of ancient vampire burials.EXPERTS claim that this skeleton is proof that vampires walked among us, years after they dug up a collection of bones bearing all the hallmarks of a blood-sucker burial.
The skeleton, discovered in a grave near a church, was uncovered two years ago, and is now set to be showcased as part of a vampire exhibition.
The skeleton was uncovered in a graveyard in a town in northern Poland, where it will go on exhibition at a local museum
The skeleton bears all the hallmarks of a historic vampire burial, from the jaw to the limbs
The skeleton had a stake driven through its leg and a small rock in its mouth, both common features of ancient vampire burials.
People accused of being vampires would be buried with iron stakes pinning their limbs to the earth so that they wouldn’t be able to climb out of their graves.
And the stone in the vampire’s mouth would have been placed there to prevent the creature from biting or sucking blood from its unlucky victims.

Archaeologists in Peru are awestruck by the discovery of an 800-year-old tied mummy
A preserved rope-bound mummy, estimated to be at least 800 years old, has been discovered in an underground tomb by archaeologists on Peru’s central coast. The mummified remains, which are in excellent condition, were found at the Cajamarquilla archaeological site about 15 miles (24 kilometers) inland from Lima. The rope-bound mummy was from the culture that developed between the coast and mountains of Peru, according to archaeologist Pieter Van Dalen Luna from the State University of San Marcos, as reported in the Guardian. The mummy is likely from the Chaclla culture, which developed in the high Andes around Lima between 1200 and 800 years ago.

Fossil of 37 million years old Whale Skeleton (more than 65ft long) Found in Wadi Al Hitan, Egyptian desert.
Wadi Al-Hitan, Egypt – Egypt has unveiled what it said is the Middle East’s first museum dedicated to fossils that showcases an early form of whales, now extinct and known as the “walking whale”.
The museum centrepiece is an intact, 37 million-year-old, 20-me­tre-long skeleton of a legged form of whale that testifies to how mod­ern-day whales evolved from land mammals.
The Valley of the Whales museum also houses prehistoric tools used by early humans and various whale fossils exhibited in glass cases cor­roborating the evolutionary transi­tion of the early whales from land to water creatures.
Environment Minister Khaled Fahmy cautioned, however, against interpreting the museum’s opening as a “full endorsement of the theory of evolution”, which conflicts with Islam.

Horned Skeleton: “An Ancient Giant Horned Skeleton Discovered In East Africa”
A team of archaeologists has found a giant ancient horned skeleton in the wilds of eastern Africa. This is believed to be the skeleton of a large ancient animal, with long,,, curved horns, believed to have lived about 20 million years ago.
According to archaeologists, the skeleton was about 3 meters long, and the horns were about 1.5 meters long.
Experts believe this is one of the largest ancient animals that ever lived on Earth, and has been called “Sauropsida gigantea”.
The skeleton was discovered in a limestone area in eastern Africa that was once the habitat of many other ancient animals.
These findings will help us better understand the biodiversity of the Earth in the past, and also raise many questions about why this animal became extinct.
According to experts,.. this skeleton is one of the most important discoveries in the field of archeology in recent years. The excavation and study of this skeleton will require a lot of work and time of scientists.
However, this is a rare opportunity to learn about the life of these ancient creatures on Earth, and can provide a lot of important information about the evolution and geology of our planet. ta.

Amaziпg Aпcieпt Skeletoпs Covered Iп Priceless Jewelry Iп Secret Catacombs
They are kпowп as the Catacomb Saiпts. From the 16th throυgh the 19th ceпtυries, aпcieпt Romaп bodies were υпearthed from Rome’s catacombs, giveп fictioпal ideпtities, aпd shipped abroad as relics of saiпts.
Yoυ caп see below how extravagaпtly they were decorated.
Bυt why – why woυld they be decorated with sυch lυxυry? Were they actυally bυried like this, or did somethiпg else happeп? Well, they areп’t actυally saiпts iп the strict seпse, thoυgh some of them may be early Christiaп martyrs.
Dυriпg the 15th ceпtυry, westerп Eυrope was shakeп by the Beeldeпstorm – the statυe fυry – a term υsed for oυtbreaks of the destrυctioп of the religioυs image. Dυriпg these spates of icoпoclasm, Catholic art aпd maпy forms of chυrch fittiпgs aпd decoratioп were destroyed iп υпofficial or mob actioпs.
As the Catholic chυrches were systematically stripped of their icoпs, the Vaticaп came υp with a rather straпge solυtioп. They ordered that thoυsaпds of skeletoпs be exhυmed from the catacombs beпeath Rome aпd iпstalled iп towпs throυghoυt Germaпy, Aυstria aпd Switzerlaпd. Few, if aпy, of the co**ses beloпged to people of aпy religioυs sigпificaпce, bυt they were decorated like saiпts.
The skeletoпs became grυesome symbols of catholicism iп areas domiпated by protestaпts. It’s пot clear if this move was effective at aпy time, bυt by the 19th ceпtυry, they became aп embarrassiпg symbol of past frictioп.
Althoυgh it was coпsidered simoпy aпd forbiddeп to sell the skeletoпs or their jewellery, some ‘eпtrepreпeυr’ priests maпaged to make moпey from traпsportiпg them aroυпd the coυпtry aпd for some blessiпgs.
Iп 1803, the secυlar magistrate of Rotteпbυch iп Bavaria aυctioпed the towп’s two saiпts. 174 years later, iп 1977, the resideпts of the towп raised fυпds to have them retυrпed, bυt for the most part, the catacomb saiпts were mostly forgotteп aпd cast aside.

Archaeologists have been startled by the finding of the bones of the ancient, powerful warriors.
Bυlgariaп archaeologists discovered giaпt skeletoп remaiпs located at the Black Sea Bay city kпowп as Varпa. Iп the first reports, they sυggested that a maп lived iп the 4th to the 5th ceпtυries aпd were qυite іmргeѕѕed by the size of the boпe foυпd iп the area.
Dυe to the size, they oпly coпclυded their report that they beloпged to a very tall maп. Ϲhief Αrcheologists Valeri Yotov who is part of their team that carries oυt excavatioпs has beeп reportiпg the local medіа.
Oп the discovery from the beggiпg bυt lately has stopped to give aпy more details which might tell υs they are oп to somethiпg bigger as they skeletoп was discovered iп the area of the aпcieпt city called Odesos.

Recoпstrυctioпs of the area are beiпg carried oυt iп Varпa, which is Bυlgariaпs 3rd largest city aпd υsυally called “The Black Sea capital”
The aпcieпt tomЬ iп which the skeletoпs was foυпd was also discovered dυriпg the repair works iп the ceпtre of Varпa while the repair team dυg υp the tomЬ υпexpectedly.

Egyptian pharaoh Seqenenre Taa II may have died on the battlefield, overwhelmed by attackers armed with daggers, axes and spears.
That’s according to a new computed tomography (CT) study of the pharaoh’s damaged mummy, which revealed new facial wounds that ancient embalmers tried to disguise. The pharaoh had a huge slice in his forehead, cuts around his eyes and cheeks, and a stab wound at the base of the skull that may have reached the brain stem. The attackers, it seems, surrounded the defeated ruler on every side.
“This suggests that Seqenenre was really on the front line with his soldiers, risking his life to liberate Egypt,” study lead author Sahar Saleem, a professor of radiology at Cairo University, said in a statement.
No one knew what had happened to the pharaoh, even after his mummy was discovered in 1886. Archaeologists noticed wounds on the skull and speculated that he’d been killed in battle or perhaps murdered in a palace coup. The 19th-century archaeologists who found the mummy reported a foul smell when they unwrapped it, leading them to suspect that the mummy had been hastily embalmed on the battlefield.
The new study uses X-rays from multiple angles to build a 3D image of the pharaoh’s mummy. The pharaoh’s remains are in poor condition, with bones disarticulated and the head detached from the rest of the body.
Nevertheless, the wounds on the skull tell the story of a brutal death. The pharaoh had a 2.75-inch-long (7 centimeters) cut across his forehead, which would have been delivered from an ax or sword stroke from above. This wound alone could have been fatal. Another potentially fatal slice above the pharaoh’s right eye was 1.25 inches (3.2 cm) long and possibly made by an ax. More cuts on the nose, right eye and right cheek came from the right and from above and may have been delivered with an ax handle or blunt staff, the researchers said.
Meanwhile, someone in front of the king swung a sword or an ax at the pharaoh’s left cheek, leaving another deep slice. From the left, a weapon — probably a spear — penetrated the base of his skull, leaving a 1.4-inch-long (3.5 cm) wound

Incredibly Well-Preserved Fossilized Remains Of A Roman Chariot Buried With Two Horses 1,700 Years Ago As Part Of A ‘Ritual For Wealthy Family’ Unearthed In Croatia
Curator Boris Kratofil explained to local media that the custom of burial under tumuli (an ancient burial mound) was an exceptional burial ritual during the Roman period in the south of the Pannoinan Basin.
He said: ‘The custom is associated with extremely wealthy families who have played a prominent role in the administrative, social and economic life of the province of Pannonia.’
The discovery is estimated to be from the third century AD but the team of scientists are working to confirm its age.

Great Zimbabwe is the name of the stone ruins of an ancient city near modern day Masvingo, Zimbabwe.
It is estimated that the central ruins and surrounding valley supported a Shona population of 10,000 to 20,000.
With an economy based on cattle husbandry, crop cultivation, and the trade of gold on the coast of the Indian Ocean, Great Zimbabwe was the heart of a thriving trading empire from the 11th to the 15th centuries.
The city was the capital of the Kingdom of Zimbabwe, which was a Shona (Bantu) trading empire. Zimbabwe means “stone houses” in Shona.

The Identity Of Four-Year-Old Laredo Kid Mummy, Who May Be Neanderthal/Human Hybrid, Has Not Been Identified
Buried for millennia in the rear of a rock-shelter in the Lapedo Valley 85 miles north of Lisbon, Portugal, archaeologists uncovered the bones of a four-year-old child, comprising the first complete Palaeolithic skeleton ever dug in Iberia. But the significance of the discovery was far greater than this because analysis of the bones revealed that the child had the chin and lower arms of a human, but the jaw and build of a Neanderthal, suggesting that he was a hybrid, the result of interbreeding between the two species.
While collecting surface material that had fallen from the remnant, João and Pedro inspected a recess in the back wall. In the loose sediments they recovered several small bones stained with red ochre they thought could be human. This turned out to be a child’s grave, the only Paleolithic burial ever found in the Iberian Peninsula.
This child had been carefully buried in an extended position in a shallow pit so that the head and feet were higher than the hips. The body had been placed on a burned Scots pine branch, probably in a hide covered in red ochre. The ochre was particularly thick around the head and stained the upper and lower surfaces of the bones. A complete rabbit carcass was found between the child’s legs and six ornaments were found – four deer teeth which appear to have been part of a headdress, and two periwinkle shells from the Atlantic, which are thought to have been part of a pendant.
