Shackled skeletons…

Fascinating article found on (of all things) japantimes.com concerning…

Mysterious shackled skeletons found in ancient Greek mass grave

What really intrigued me was this photograph, found in the article, which shows these skeletons:

Eerie, no?

The article offers theories archaeologists have regarding the identity of these corpses, believing they might have been on the losing side of a political uprising and were rounded up and executed for their actions.

Is their theory correct?  It certainly is possible but what I find most intriguing is this points out one small pocket of human history concealed from us…until now.

Makes you wonder just how much more history awaits our discovery, buried beneath layers of dirt.
