Bizarre Archaeological Finds That Still Baffle Scientists Today

The Sewer of Babies

Israeli archaeologist Ross Voss discovered something extremely disturbing while exploring an ancient sewer system. What he initially thought was chicken bones ended up being multiple human infant bones. These bones were just sitting at the bottom of a sewer feed together. Presumably, the babies were all thrown down there alive. It is suggested that these infants were babies birthed by prostitutes that worked at a local bathhouse, but nobody really knows where they came from.
