Danish Viking Clan

Beginning in the 8th century, the Danes began a long era of well-organized
raids across the coasts and rivers of Europe. Large areas outside Scandinavia
were settled by the Danes including what became know as the Danelaw in England,
the Netherlands, northern France and Ireland. Two Viking warriors from the same
clan separated for more than 1000 years and have finally been reunited at the
Danish National Museum in Copenhagen.
Danelaw was established as an area ruled by Vikings and extended across
much of England. A group of fairly young Viking warriors was found here buried
in a mass grave near the church where they had been killed by orders from King
Aethelred II, King of the English. The warrior hilighted here was in his 20s and
died from injuries to his head. He had sustained 8 to 10 hits to the head and
several stab wounds to the spine.

Mummies from the Middle, Late and Ptolemaic Kingdoms

In 1907, two mummies were discovered in Deir Rifeh Egypt in a tomb
belonging to a governor and his sons from the 12th Dynasty (almost 4000 years
ago). The tomb group is one of the best preserved and best known burials of the
Egyptian Middle Kingdom. Although the mummies were heavily decayed, the
skeletons were still preserved. Khnum-Nakht was about 40 years old and
Nakht-Ankh about 60.
The two mummies were found to be brothers with the same mother but
different fathers. This is confirmed by identical mtDNA and the detected
differences in the Y chromosomes. Both suffered from osteoarthtritis and dental
attrition. Khnum-Nakht had kyphoscoliosis and Nakht-Ankh had lung lesions from
sand pneumoconiosis.

Pompeii Vesuvius Victim

For the people of Pompeii the world reached a horrific end in the Autumn of
79 AD. The only surviving
eyewitness account of the event consists of two letters written by Pliny the
Younger (who was 17 at the time of the eruption) to the Roman historian Tacitus
some 25 years later. Observing the first volcanic activity from across the Bay
of Naples 29 kilometers away, Pliny the Elder (his uncle) launched a rescue
fleet immediately - while Pliny the Younger stayed behind. He wrote of a
extraordinary dense cloud rising above mount Vesuvius. His words describe a
pine-tree with spreading branches which was sometimes bright and sometimes dark
and spotted - impregnated with earth and cinders. After three tremors the sea
rolled back upon itself. Flashes appeared through dark clouds and ash fell like
a blanket of snow.
Meanwhile for Pliny the Elder things were taking a turn for the worse. As
commander fo the Roman fleet at Misenum he went to investigate the phenomenon at
close range. He ordered the fleet galleys to evacuate the people on the coast.
As he neared the other side of the bay he encountered thick showers of hot
cinders, lumps of pumice and pieces of rock. Ignoring the helmsman to turn back
Pliny insisted that Fortune favors the brave and continued to Stabiae - a town
about 4.5km from Pompeii. Very soon they realized the strong onshore wind
prevented any ships from leaving. Pliny and his party saw flames shooting from
parts of the mountain - presumed to be burning villages. Forced to stay
overnight the crew attempted to approach the beach with pillows tied to their
heads to protect from rockfall - however the wind had not changed and exhausted
Pliny sat down on a sail for a rest to never stand again.
