The gruesome grave reveals the massacre of the Mongol army when attacking Europe

Researchers are really obsessed after learning the truth behind a skeletal mass grave discovered in Russia.

The Sun newspaper reported on September 5 that the mass grave site was found in the Russian city ​​of Yarsoslav l. Experts linked the site to the Mongolian invasion of Europe in the 13th century. Yaroslavl was invaded in 1238 by the Mongol army led by Khan Batu , grandson of Genghis Khan. , command.

The mass grave was discovered in the city of Yaroslavl, Russia.

Although it took a long time, the scale of the destruction of the recent attack was unraveled. In 2005, during excavations at the Assumption church site - built in the 13th century but demolished in 1937 - researchers found numerous mass graves.

Many sets of remains are piled up in a mass grave.

About 9 burial pits were unearthed at that time, containing the remains of more than 300 victims, who must receive painful death.

"Khan's conquest is considered the greatest national tragedy, surpassing all other tragedies of severity and destruction. It is no coincidence that it is one of the few events that are brought into the culture of the people. Russia. What we know about this conquest shows that the phrase describing the history of 'a city engulfed in a sea of ​​blood' is not just a figurative way of speaking, " said Asya Engovatova, a researcher from the Institute of Surveyors. ancient, belonging to the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), said.

Several historical records suggest that the annexation of Russia to the Golden Horde (Golden Horde) was carried out in "peace and voluntary". But the new DNA test results show that the Mongols slaughtered many families during their bloody conquest in central and eastern Europe, including Russia.

Scientists based on DNA test results to determine the relationship between the dead in the grave.

The latest mass grave is a shallow burial pit under the ruins of a wealthy house burned down during the Mongol attack on the city. The main log house and the annex have many artifacts showing the wealth of the homeowner.

The bodies of 15 men, women and children were severely decomposed before they were buried in a mass grave.The shallow burial pits indicate that they were hurriedly buried.

"In addition to recreating the overall picture of the defeat of Yarsoslavl in 1283, we now discover the disaster of a whole family.

DNA analysis showed that some of the people buried in a mass grave were members of a family of three generations: A grandmother who was 55 years old or older, a daughter about 30 to 40 years old, and a grandson of about 20 years old. The fourth member of the family is buried in the grave next door.

Numerous cracked cracks of the skull show the victims suffered catastrophic death.

Data on when these people were buried is extremely valuable and supports the anthropologist's hypothesis that corpses decay before being buried. These people were murdered and their bodies buried in the snow for quite some time.

Around April or May, the flies begin to sniff and fill the decomposing bodies. At the end of May and June, the bodies were buried in a grave, " Asya said.

The bones of the victims also show traces of an intense death with penetrating penetrations and difficult cuts. Evidence of fire shows the whole city is on fire.
