In 2022, a farmer in Poland is cultivating land on the edge of his village. Suddenly, a shovel that was digging out of the earth jumped out of the spark. "There's something in the dirt!" I saw a piece of rusty iron exposed in the soil, and when he dug down further, he was scared into a cold sweat.
This scene took place in a village called Pion, in Bydgoszcz, northern Poland. At the time, the farmer was cultivating new land in a field overgrown with barren grass. Unexpectedly, there was an amazing discovery.
I saw that there was not only a piece of rusty iron in the soil, but also a human skeleton appeared under the iron! The farmer was so frightened that he felt that he had dug someone else's grave. So he took his shovel and ran home, never to go there again.
Soon after, local archaeologists learned about it. So, they found the farmer, and the group went again to the place where the bones were found.
Soon, the archaeological team was stationed at the site and the excavation work began. The archaeological team took out the rusty iron and found it to be a sickle. The scythe rested right on the neck of the skeleton. The head of the skeleton has traces of a fine silk hat ornament.
When the archaeologists cleaned up all the sediment from the skeleton, they found two sickles on each of the two legs and necks of the skeleton.
Based on some artifacts that were subsequently unearthed, experts judged that this should be a 17th-century cemetery. And this skeleton turned out to be a woman. Why do you have a sickle on your neck and feet? This type of burial is unusual!
After research by the research team of the University of Copernicus in Poland, they believe that the owner of this female skeleton had a high status at that time. For some reason, she was considered a "female vampire".
After her death, when she was buried, a sickle was placed around her neck and feet to prevent the resurrection of the "female vampire".
Experts say multiple cases of similar burials have been found throughout the region. Now it seems that such legends and funeral methods are somewhat ridiculous, but they were very popular at the time. #老照片# #考古#
