In the process of researching our episodes, we run along so many other great stories to tell, but most don't make the cut. Here are two historic mysteries that didn't make it into Demiworld's Ancient Mysteries episode.



Kelly: Ancient Mysteries – Mass Infant Grave in Israel







Along the shores of Israel's Mediterranean coast, in the ancient seaport of Ashkelon, archaeologist Ross Voss made a gruesome find. While exploring one of the city’s sewers, he discovered a large number of small bones. Initially, the bones were believed to be chicken bones. However, it was later discovered that the bones were actually human –infant bones from the Roman era. With the remains amounting to more than 100 babies, it was the largest discovery of infant remains to date.



Cyndi: Ancient Mysteries – The Lost Civilization of Atlantis



Excavation at Santorini



Plato first mentioned the hedonistic civilization of Atlantis that was wiped out by the gods for their immoral ways. Through recent excavations of the Greek island of Santorini, an ancient civilization conforming to Plato's description of Atlantis was discovered. A vast volcanic eruption that caused a huge tsunami, shock waves that damaged the pyramids in Egypt, and created a mini ice age that lasted two years, decimated Santorini.
