The remains of a thousand year old skin remain intact after the storm in Ireland

Ophelia stormed the ground, revealing its prehistoric skeleton with some intact patches of skin after sweeping the Irish coast.

The storm with winds of 120km / h raged on the coastline for hours on October 17 and revealed an ancient burial site, according to IFL Science. The skeleton is still partially attached to the outer skin, found at Kilmore Harbor in Wexford, Ireland. The location of the skeleton detection is Forlorn Point's nose .

According to pathologist Marie Cassidy, who preliminarily examined the area, the remains may belong to residents of the Iron Age about 1,000 years ago. The body was taken to Dublin to find out the cause of death and the age of the dead. After the researchers conclude, the skeleton will be donated to the National Museum of Ireland.

"From the location we found, we were able to determine the remains of the burial site recently. The body was in an eroded stone grave for many years with arms placed along the body. We could not conclude for sure. the skeleton age until the use of carbon isotopes to measure age, " said archaeologist Maeve Sikora of the Irish National Museum.

It is likely that the force from the storm has accelerated the speed of coastal erosion, making the remains visible for the first time in a century.

Hurricane Ophelia moved through Britain and Ireland this week, carrying strong winds above 120 km / h. The storm killed three people and 330,000 fell into power outages. Many buildings were stormed by storms and many flights were forced to turn their heads due to storms.
