00:00This is such an exciting find because we found these skeletons that are so very, very well
00:29preserved. Nothing we've seen before for a long time anyway. Normally, we would be lucky to find
00:35a few teeth in the graves, but here we have an entire skeleton lying in the grave. This opens
00:49a whole new toolbox for scientific discovery. Hopefully, we can make a DNA analysis on all
00:56the skeletons and see if they are related to each other and even where they come from.
