Marine archaeologists have found the partial remains of a 2,000-year-old skeleton while conducting an excavation at the Antikythera shipwreck, the famous site that yielded the freakishly-advanced Antikythera Mechanism. Incredibly, the ancient remains could still contain traces of DNA… link |

Antikythera Mechanism is amazing but dont forget the huge collection of Greek bronze statues found on the site. |

I'm hoping for teeth. There's a decent chance they can work out where the skeleton lived Add that to the DNA, if there is recoverable DNA, and hints of lifestyle from the skeleton as a whole and historians will know enough to spend generations arguing about what exactly he was doing there. (No, "rowing frantically for shore" is not the answer they're looking for.) |

Skeleton is probably from the future so DNA might not help :) |

Ancient astronaut theorists offer an alternate explanation! |
