Okay so check it— your ancestors were literally getting *nailed* to their graves? No mames.
Archaeologists in Rome, over in the Ostiense necropolis, just found three skeletons from, like, 1,800 years ago, and get this: they had iron nails hammered into their chests. NAILS, fam. Not like, a little decorative thing, but *nails*. The experts are saying it was probably some kind of ritual to keep the dead from, you know, getting up and walking around, or maybe to protect the living from restless spirits. Can you even imagine? Like, you die, and your family's like, "Yeah, we love you, Tío, but just in case… *thwack*." I'm just picturing all these ancient Romans trying to sleep at night, sweating about Cousin Tiberius coming back for his favorite toga.
This is the kind of wild stuff that makes you think, 'What were they *doing* back then?' Here in LA, the only thing getting nailed is, like, a new luxury condo going up right next to a place where people are literally sleeping on the street, no mames. We're worried about rent control, not zombies. But hey, at least our version of 'restless spirits' is usually just someone trying to find parking in Silver Lake on a Friday night, ya sabes? That's the real LA, fam — east of the 110.
