Yelekiah Posted January 10, 2006 #3 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Further proof that nothing is original these days Seriously, I think that's pretty fascinating that there was a reason for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfstone810 Posted January 10, 2006 #4 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I never had an aptitude for science myself, but I love reading about the things that science can teach us, especially when it involves mysteries. Wow! 2300-year-old murder mysteries! Those are REALLY cold cases! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__Kratos__ Posted January 10, 2006 #5 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Ancient pretty boy? If you read the story, it says they were most likely sacrificed. The prolonged torture was just for kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AztecInca Posted January 10, 2006 #6 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Very interesting indeed. I wonder just how well the ancient gel worked compared with todays?! Probably a whole lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagji56 Posted January 11, 2006 #7 Share Posted January 11, 2006 well if the gel lasted 2300 years, it HAS to beater lol the big Q is, where they from Ireland, if one had a head dress that was from France, the there is a possibility that this shot guy was some sort of king, and the taller was, in fact a body guard!

Uversa Posted January 11, 2006 #9 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Lets not forget that at the time these fellows were styling thier hair it was possible to walk from Ireland to England and then England to France, the sea has only seperated the three countries within the last 2,000 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
