Still Waters Posted September 23, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Two 3,000-year-old human skeletons dug up in the Outer Hebrides have been found to be a jigsaw of at least six different people who died hundreds of years apart. It is one of Britain’s most intriguing archeological mysteries. When two almost perfectly preserved 3,000-year-old human skeletons were dug up on a remote Scottish island, they were the first evidence that ancient Britons preserved their dead using mummification. The scientists who uncovered the bodies also found clues that one of them – a man buried in a crouching position – was not a single individual, but had in fact been assembled from the body parts of several different people. The discovery began a 10-year investigation into what had led the bronze-age islanders to this strange fate. http://www.telegraph...en-mummies.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
