The Twilight Zone

This one is for the die-hard Twilight fans. Archaeologists found a collection of almost 100 “vampires” in shallow graves in Bulgaria. What really drew their attention, was that the corpses seemed to be nailed to their coffins. The “nails” were actually steel stakes that were wedged through the chests of the dead. The running belief is that the reason for the metal rods was to prevent the dead from rising and terrorizing the living.

The Claw

During an archaeological expedition in New Zealand, archaeologists discovered what seemed to be the claw of a monster. A closer examination revealed that the claw belonged to the now-extinct moa bird – a prehistoric bird which existed 3,300 years ago. With the advancement of cloning and DNA modification, scientists have considered the extinct moa as a candidate for cloning. Can you imagine seeing a bird that size today?
