Aztec Ruins (Structures) National Monument. (It has nothing to do with the Aztecs of Mexico. White people named it long ago & it stuck. It would more properly be called Chaco North or Middle San Juan Nat. Mon.) They held a Native fine art fair on the grounds today. And yes, this is where I moved to. The trailer park I'm in borders the Monument. If it weren't for trees I would be able to see this view from my front door!

"The Mysterious Giant Temples of Neolithic Europe
Five thousand years ago, across the plains of modern Ukraine and Romania, the people of the Cucuteni–Trypillia culture built some of the largest settlements on Earth. For decades, these remarkable communities have been presented as egalitarian proto-cities without kings, palaces, or social hierarchy. But recent discoveries have revealed enormous megastructures whose purpose remains fiercely debated. Were they temples, assembly halls, elite residences, lineage houses, men's houses, or centres of governance? In this video, I explore the archaeology of the Trypillia megastructures and what they reveal about power, inequality, religion, and social organisation in prehistoric Europe."

While clearing debris to protect ancient Egyptian tombs from flash floods, researchers near Luxor stumbled upon an unknown 3,000-year-old tomb. Its remarkably preserved paintings depict an official named Paser, his wife, religious scenes, and offerings of food and flowers. The discovery comes as climate-driven flooding poses a growing threat to these fragile remains

Just a WTF observation along with a long rambling post follows.
I found it fascinating that, from a behavioral perspective, the despicable human nature to attempt to profit on anything, everyone and everything just seems to disappear and fade away instantly with regard to this particular topic...
March 2022 During reconstruction efforts of Notre-Dame de Paris, French archaeologists announced discovery of a lead sealed sarcophagus of "remarkable scientific quality" that potentially predates the layer of 18th century church floor layer it was under.
The Internet "lights up" with interest with speculation about who was entombed “forever” beneath an 800-year-old holy site.
On April 14 Archeologist announce plans to open the sarcophagus on Easter day, Sunday, April 17th 2022 after already having broken the lead seal with an endoscopic camera to peek inside the sarcophagus and finding parts of skull, a pillow of leaves, fragments of textiles, and several other contents and objects.
Also on April 14, Elon Musk made an unsolicited offer to purchase the company; Twitter's board initially responded with a "poison pill" strategy to resist a hostile takeover, but unanimously accepted Musk's buyout offer of $44 billion on April 25.
Now the Internet, unfortunately known as a never-ending source of revenue for anyone and everybody posting click-bait about what was found in their grandma's old cookie jar and what their kid just left in the toilet goes wild on what was discovered and what yet may be discovered inside the unopened tomb.
April 17th 2022 (Easter Sunday) comes to pass.
The Internet *crickets*
Since late October 2022 after the deal closed, the dead-bird site has accelerated its efforts to reinstate the vilest of grifters, traitors and other dark creatures spreading misinformation, and horrid videos of mass murders as well as other violent crimes against humanity and society.
The news updates and posts regarding the sarcophagus simply stop appearing on the Internet on and after Easter (A few older articles are reposted with later dates but nothing new is forthcoming).
Even the penny grifters going for cheap click-bait revenue don't take advantage of the story and try to make a few bucks lying about what was or was not found..
I find the episode and apparent lack of collective knowledge to be very weird given similar events in the past few decades. Heck, Geraldo hyped up a television event back in the 80s when they dusted off some Al Capone Scuttlebutt and opened an abandoned cellar in Chicago.
There is absolutely no need to spin this up into a new conspiracy theory. I was bored and the Twitter interweave came as a funny coincidence.
Clarifications or factual corrections are always welcome in the comments. Enjoy! Pictures of the contents after the Easter opening would be a plus if anyone has any. No pictures of demons please. I have a weak constitution. ;)
