Interesting archaeology

[CliffJ]

Many of us may be more related to this find, than any of the NA finds. This is interesting modern archaeology, done in a very different climate than here in the US.
Would US archaeologists search specifically for the bones of a 15th century Indian king? Not without great pc uproar, such as has happened with other US skeletal finds in the past twenty or so years.
I'm looking forward to the results of their various experiments.

  He did have a big lump on his back, so I've got a "hunch" it could well be him!  :laugh:
He is at least promised a decent burial in Leicester Cathedral if the DNA tests confirm the lineage:

Thanks for the link Cliff. I have been following this story for a while now. And you are sure right about the differences in climates.

I cant believe this one only garnered two replies. I like the way you think Cliff. I have some welch and English ancestry in my lineage Dutch German and Eyetalian too.  Where can I go to complain about my 15th great grand uncle thrice removed being dug up and picked at?

  Hoss, by my calculations it only needs 8,493,642 people to perish in a series of unimaginable tragedies and you would be KING. The position doesn’t come with the kudos it used to, but you do get to wear some fancy headgear.
In anticipation of this coming to fruition, could I ask for your consideration on the following matters?
We could reclaim our former territories in France (and probably a bit more too) with little military effort. I would suggest digging it up and planting something useful. Trees maybe. Potatoes even.
Also, a restoration of the lands and privileges earned by my ancestor Sir Robert Lawrence (Robert de Lancaster) during the Third Crusades in the 12th Century, when he scaled the walls during the siege of Acre castle to open the gates to the crusading armies.
A Hoss, a Hoss. My kingdom for a Hoss!  :laugh:

I've been following the research with great interest.  I hope they make a documentory of it all.

It's confirmed.
