Yo, you will NOT believe what they found in Rome, jawn.
Listen, I'm not even gonna hold you, I just read this mess about archaeologists in Rome finding 1,800-year-old bodies with iron nails stabbed into their chests, like they were trying to keep 'em from rising up or something. Three whole skeletons, just chilling with nails on their chests in some old necropolis. Like, for real? We got enough problems with the Schuylkill Expressway traffic, now we gotta worry about ancient Roman zombies walking around South Philly? That's the jawn, Philly — we don't do fake out here. You think if someone tried that in Laurel Hill Cemetery, some cousin wouldn't be out there with a cheesesteak and a whole lot of questions, or nah?
They saying it was to "protect" both the living and the dead from restless spirits. Honey, if a spirit is restless enough to need nails to hold it down, you got bigger problems than just some iron, you know? They should've just offered 'em some wooder ice and told 'em to chill. We got our own weird stuff, like the Mummers and them costumes – but at least that's just a parade, not trying to keep the dead from haunting your rowhome. This is some next-level, only-in-history-books kinda wildness.
Stay safe out there, Philly. Keisha Robinson-Moyer, MiTL Sports Desk, West Philly.
