Human skull and other remains buried in sand near Irkutsk may date from 1917-22 civil war
A “road of bones” has been discovered in Siberia, where officials have opened an inquiry into how a human skull and other fossils appeared on a frozen highway near Irkutsk.
The remains, which may be a century old, were buried in sand that was spread over a local road to improve traction on black ice. So far, the bones of at least three people have been discovered, a Kirensk city official told Russian state television, adding that they may date back to Russia’s 1917-22 civil war.
