Well, I guess Hannibal Lecter or even Jack the Ripper weren’t all that new in their own time.
I learn a lot here, myself, and after a few years here will never look at a photo or video quite the same. Now, I'm always checking shadows, focus, and for things that don't appear right, and with a little examination, there is often more than just a picture there.
Thank you, FRiend, for your kindness! :-)
19-35 YO mass corpses sounds like a severe outbreak of socialists somewhere nearby.
I hear you. If it was an epidemic there’d be a lot more children than adults.
“I hear you. If it was an epidemic thered be a lot more children than adults.”
Unless it was like the Spanish Flu.
Within the context of human society, it seems more likely to me that a stronger force raided the village for slaves, and left behind the corpses of adult and near-adult males.
Still just guessing, though.
My take on the body heap...
The youngsters developed an early form of rap music and the oldsters decided to get ahead of the cultural rot with a bit of old school eliminationism.
I suspect if they had found injuries they would have mentioned it. The fact that it was “juveniles, young adults, and middle aged” people suggests something to me. As they do not report elderly people, I suspect that it was a major epidemic of something. The elderly had probably already been subject to an earlier epidemic of that germ, and so had immunity when it came around again after many decades. Perhaps they will be able to analyze some parts that were not totally destroyed by the fire to find the disease source.
