Ancient Bones Discovered

These ancient bones were all discovered. Henry Sadler, a middle school science teacher, found the humerus bone of a massive Columbian mammoth while diving in a river in Florida. In 2021, Italian archaeologists found the remains of nine neanderthals in a cave near Rome. In 2020, workers in Mexico digging the foundations for a new airport made a startling discovery: several woolly mammoth bones. Inside Edition Digital’s Andrea Swindall has more.

As a Floridian, diving in a river in Florida sounds like terrible idea.

Archaeologists actually discovered that the fleeing man “crushed by a boulder” while fleeing Pompeii wasn’t killed by the large stone after all. But that he most likely died from asphyxiation from all the smoke and the stone just happened land there after the fact. They discovered this after finding the man’s skull completely intact.

True testament of how time can change perspectives.

Natural disaster killing things:
at the time = tragedy
Thousands of years later = great discovery!

Those were two different mammoth bones. The one in the water was broken in half, and the one on the table was whole.

Imagine being killed by a falling doorframe while running from a volcano, only to be called an “exceptional find”.

Wow! That is so cool he is keeping it for his class instead of selling Stuff like this can really help kids see how cool archaeology is!

the worst pompeii cast ive ever seen (in terms of emotions) was the baby laying face down, another is a cast of a mother and her young child as the child reached out stepping over the mothers lap, the last one very few people see, the cast of a little girl, curled up against a wall, she almost looks like she is hiding away from whats happening, i had to step away and cry

[sully]

I'm so happy for him you can tell how happy and excited he is to find it and seems like a real good genuine guy

[lemmdus]

The guy killed in Pompeii died an instant death unlike the other two at the bottom of the stairs. Could have also been father and son.

[JamesSmith-ucnt]

Damn for that huge stone to be launched on that man the force of the volcano must've been absolutely massive. Like the movies weren't just Hollywood

[colorbugoriginals]

somewhere out there another scientist finds the rest of the mammoth and just says, "this is all but humerus."

[oopsallie]

who is doing these dinosaur transitions 💀😭😂😂😂😂

[ewefxds]

Kind of weird they would find only 9 skeletons and somehow, just a single one of them is 20, 000 years older than the rest of them? That is very odd?

[gwenratcliffe]

These wonderful, revealing discoveries continue to fire our minds and imaginations. I'm hoping for more to build on that published here by Inside Edition. I hope they continue to tantalize and amaze us all with these prehistoric finds.

[Adara]

Fascinating discoveries! It makes one wonder how many bones of various species remain hidden still to be discovered!

[dattepo]

The mammoths found in Mexico pretty much means that the whole earth was covered in ice at one point

[Shatamx]

The Neanderthal fine is incredible. They hunted elephants and rhino!!?! With so few in a tribe that impressive as it gets. Wonder if their better night vision made them apex predators at night. More so than Sapiens.

Love the t-Rex walking across the screen!

[ipettynote]

Im sorry but the dinosaur transition is taking me out 💀

[journeymansmitty]

Wow the discovery of old bones is so cool🤔
