Articles just made for speculation & fantasy :)

Archeology is an amazing science.  It amazes me when I read of ancient remains, ruins, & roads & think upon how *old* they are, but still, in some cases, in use!  In other instances, digs provide clues to our histories, other times they lead to speculation & daydreaming of the possibilities.  Such as this absolutely fascinating article. Why ever would a people be so bent on mummifying a complete skeleton?  Another article to ponder: what was life like so long ago?  Did the people settling here get any warning that the ocean was coming?
