New archaeological evidence on skeleton people!
LOL! Sorry, but I just had to share this with you!

Evidence that Skeleton people really lived!. New archaeological evidence for the race of skeletons has recently been found in Egypt and is still currently being investigated. Some professor who's leading the excavation believes that they might be related to humans, but he hasn't really convinced me yet.

Anyway, here's an artist's rendering of what a warrior-skeleton may have looked like.

	;-) Have you read any of Fritz Leiber's fantasy stories? He mentions a race of 'Ghouls', who are humanoids with transparent flesh, that would look like that... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	No, unfortunately I haven't. But I could always look into it I suppose, if the story is any good? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
