A couple of months ago, Ashford Price was clearing out his late aunt's wardrobe in Swansea, Wales.l Unexpectedly, in amongst the sweaters were 42 human skeletons. The police were called in, fearing the worst, only to discover that the skeletons were 3000 years old.
The rest of the story is here. My favorite bit is that they're being re-interred under a special stone circle of henges, like Stonehenge but new, and then being blessed in a reinterment ceremony by the local Anglican vicar.
