Victims of one of Mohammed's ancestors passing through the area?

Interesting.

The Romans might have simply not had a smithy available at the time of the shackled man's death and simply buried him "as is." The shackled man might have been a prisoner for some reason and not worth any more effort.

The headless men sound like something else completely. THAT is more of a mystery.

I'm SURE "British science" will solve it next week.

The spawn of Ishmael didn't just rise up in 1922, when everyone enraged the Islamofascist terrorists.....

I thought all American natives were peace-loving nature lovers. This could only have been caused by Europeans I am sure. /sarcasim

I've seen a recent topic about this, but couldn't find it. Did find this though:

Easy... these are early liberals. Not a brain to be found anywhere.

Off with their heads!

This discovery is proof positive that the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland was a historical figure.

“One theory we are working on is that the men’s heads were removed after death with a very sharp implement through the cervical vertebrae.

That'll leave a mark.

[Dr._Joseph_Warren]

The answer seems obvious to me. After putting down an insurrection, the Romans would set the heads of the rebels on spikes, lining the roads with them as a warning to others.

[PAR35]

because Romans had no tradition of ... shackling men.

Obviously the so-called 'experts' never read the New Testament. It is shocking that someone who claims to study Roman history would never have looked at a Bible.

Heads on pikes?

Heads on pikes?

The heads presumably are singing that old song, "I ain't got nobody".
