Another dig, dig, dig!!


Turkana Boy is the most complete prehistoric human skeleton ever found!

Good for science? You bet.

Good for religion? Sorry there!

The public display of this skeleton has sparked a big fight between scientists and evangelicals.... bringing out the old controversy again - evolution against creation!!

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet lay buried side by side in his famous play. Archaeologists have unearthed two skeletons from the Neolithic period locked in a tender embrace and buried outside Mantua, just 25 miles south of Verona, the romantic city where Shakespeare set the star-crossed tale of Romeo and Juliet!

Buried between 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, the prehistoric lovers are believed to have been a man and a woman and are thought to have died young, as their teeth were found intact. Double burials from the Neolithic period are unheard of, and these are even hugging!!
