You won't believe what they found in Roman graves
So check this— archaeologists over in Rome, man, they're diggin' up this old necropolis, right? And they find three skeletons, laid to rest with iron nails driven into their chests. Not in some regular way, either. They're talkin' about it being a ritual, a way to keep those spirits from gettin' restless. Can you imagine that? Like, you're tryin' to get your eternal rest, and somebody's like, "Nah, we gotta nail you down just in case you get any ideas about wanderin' around." That's a whole different kind of security system, man.
Alright, here's where it gets interesting— they're saying these nails were to protect both the living and the dead. Like, the people left behind didn't want any ghostly visitors, and maybe the spirits themselves didn't want to be bothered either. It makes you think about Crown Hill Cemetery, man, where John Dillinger and President Harrison are buried. Can you imagine if we had to go around puttin' nails in folks' chests to keep them from haunting the Circle? We got enough going on with the traffic downtown, we don't need ancient Roman ghost protocols. Folks here just wanna get their Long's Bakery donuts at 6 AM in peace.
Naptown on the wire — we've been up since 5am, you just didn't notice.
The Morning Wire crew is probably still talking about this. You can catch 'em live every day at mornings.live.
