ROME - Archaeologists have found the skeleton of a warrior from up to 5,000 years ago floating in a tomb filled with sea water on a beach near Rome, Italy's art squad said Friday.
The bones — believed to date from the 3rd millennium B.C. — were discovered in May as art hunters were carrying out routine checks of the region's archaeological areas, Carabinieri art squad official Raffaele Mancino said.

Art squad ping.
I guess all roads really do eventually lead to Rome...
I hope they can do a DNA job on this guy to find out where he was from.
Just as Gibbles, he should be able to find some.
Bones floating?
Sea water in his tomb. Albertus Gorius warned of rising seas but the warrior was a denier.
The Carabinieri have an “Art Squad”?
Yeesh, now the Gendarmes will want one.
Yeesh, now the Gendarmes will want one.
That is humorous but it makes sense in a country like Italy. The French probably have something similar. Good food and antiquities are what these countries have.
