The archeologist Badger

A German badger has made a discovery without antecedent. The mammal found out 2 knights’ tombs from medieval age. This is considered by archeologist as an “important” discovery. The tombs are from XII century. They contain a sword, cooper cups and an ornamental belt.

The discovery was made 75 kilometers to northeast from Berlin in a Farm located in the Stolpe Town, in Brandemburg. It was here that the tiny animal decided to build his nest under the ground and, accidentally, it found the tombs.

The farm´s owners, a pair of sculptors that curiously have as a hobby the archeology, planned to display their works near the badger´s nest and that was the reason why they realized the tombs.

“We saw a pelvis bone over the ground, it clearly belonged to a human being. Actually, we didn't surprise too much, because in the middle of the 70’s someone found a cemetery across the road. So we decided to introduce a camera into the badger´s nest and take pictures with a remote control. What we found was jewelry, that we took out and then we gave it to authorities. That was last fall, at that time the badger had gone.

Hope you find it useful...
