xmorbidcuriosityx: Richard III: The twisted bones that reveal a king When Richard was killed at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485, he was said to have been buried in Greyfriars church, Leicester. But this church was lost until archaeologists excavated a car park and discovered medieval remains. Victorian foundations had almost destroyed the entire grave and the feet were lost, but the bones still promised to provide a treasure trove of information - would they also reveal a king? For more pics and info, click here! For those of us in the UK, Channel 4 will be airing Richard III: The King in the Car Park at 9pm tonight, followed by a live Q&A with two prominent members of the team involved in this historically important find: Philippa Langley, member of the Richard III society and Professor Lin Foxhall, Head of the School of Archaeology and Ancient History at the University of Leicester. So I know this isn’t fashion related but I just had to share this link, it is after all the news thats rocking the anthropology world today! Isn’t fantastic to know that even after all this time people still discover new information which can rewrite history. -- source link
