I'm

Felix and Felix you pitched us this idea I don't even know how long ago it was at this point

It was still cold outside so maybe winter time. Yeah, we are finally bringing this story to our listeners.

And it is a big two-part episode that starts next week.

But this week, Felix and I are giving you the prologue.

And this prologue starts in a small town in Hungary. A few years ago,

the town is getting ready to build part of a wastewater treatment plant and before they break

ground they hire archaeologists to make sure they're not going to disturb some long lost historic site.

So the archaeologists start digging, and they uncover a single grave.

Really it's just a pit in the ground.

There's evidence there used to be a casket in there,

but it's been so long all the wood has completely

decomposed.

They find a bronze earring, a buckle, parts of a necklace, a ceramic vessel, and a handful of bones. So all this stuff gets sent out to a lab. Researchers identify them as

belonging to an adult woman somewhere between the ages of 20 and 50.

And they determined that her grave dates back

about 1,500 years ago.

That is a long time ago.

Yeah, this is like fall of Rome era Attila the Hun times right the point is these

remains belong to the ancient world they're a window into Hungarian history.

And we'll never know what her name actually was.

But researchers, they call her SPF 15.
