Engineers with Thames Water, a U.K. utility company were laying down pipes in Oxfordshire, 50 miles outside of London, when they unearthed various skeletons.


Cotswold Archaeology excavated the site and examined the 26 skeletons found. They dated back almost 3,000 years to the Iron Age and Roman period. Most disturbing were indications some of them were victims of human sacrifice.

THE DEAD MAN TRAPPED INSIDE A MANNEQUIN | M.P. Pellicer

About 150 years ago a French taxidermist named Jules Verreaux created a diorama named Lions Attacking a Dromedary, which portrays a man battling two lions.


Since it was first placed on the display, many have marveled at how realistic the man’s face was, and a discovery made as to what’s really under the plaster made it clear why it appeared so lifelike.

​In 1869, two years after this taxidermy diorama also known as Arab Courier Attacked by Lions was created, it was shipped off to the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
