Poor dude. I thought they would’ve buried him again by now.
You'd think. Although they've been moving pretty slowly. Took them 20 years to even find his stomach! To be fair, he is probably the world's oldest "surviving" murder victim...should probably figure out who did it.

Tangentially related, I’ve started reading The Winter King, about Arthurian England. I really enjoyed the second scene which centres around a royal birth, and gives reimagined colour to the witchcraft and religious practices that would have accompanied such events in the distant and ancient past (spoiler!): roaring fires on the snow-covered parapets; local children banging pots, women howling and guards hitting their spears on their shields to keep demons and witches away in the night; pagan magic/midwifery.
The book outlines a lot of human suffering that makes me damn grateful to be alive now, the author’s poetic license aside.

Didn't it take them dozens of x-rays before they even found the arrowhead that killed him?
