Archaeologists in the U.K. have found the remains of an ancient Roman aristocrat believed to have been buried more than 1,000 years ago in a hidden cemetery near the city of Leeds. Experts say the discovery could shed new light on the decline of the Roman Empire and the establishment of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in Britain.

Could this be considered grave robbing?
I mean… a news organization that either has a majority of its employees live in the upper east side, Connecticut or the hamptons or employs the children of powerful people who live in the upper east side, Connecticut or the Hamptons sees that someone found the bones of an aristocrat and were like
“That’s our kind”
This sounds like the opening sequence of a horror movie.
A led coffin like if they trap the body inside in an hidden cemetery with 62 corpses around..and they look like they were holding each other until death…yeah sure dig that up sound safe..
If they're Roman these bones have to be at least 1,400 to 1,500 years old. Because the Western Roman empire collapsed in 476 AD. I suppose that final generation might call themselves Romano-British, but would people still be doing that 500 years later, following the successive invasions of the Anglo-Saxon's, the Jutes, the Vikings, etc? I don't think so.
Now imagine if black people found this and assumed it was a black person lol
“SO RACIST SHE DIDNT HAVE A HEADSTONE OMG 😤”
That's why I will be cremated.
Let them rest..
