The Results

Some days the world moves so fast. Events gather momentum at the speed of light. Expert scientists and archaeologists flew in to carbon date the bones. According the tests, Mr. Bones is approximately three hundred years old. Not the oldest find by far, and it was a slight disappointment at first. Spike, as well as the team of team of scientists and archaeologists were expecting another prehistoric ice man. The remains of a man from the 1700's is still huge, but a blow to all of their egos was taken. They all wanted to be famous as a result of this discovery. He would, no doubt be placed in a museum. They might even enjoy a brief moment in the sun on the national news circuit. However, in the scientific world, they would just be a small fish in the big ocean. That is until, it was revealed that there was no logical explanation why he was there. The cave was buried under layers of Earth. The last time the cave would have been exposed, and thus easily accessible would have been over a thousand years ago. The question was, how did this man enter this cave when the technology at the time was simply not available? Even more interesting, knick knacks of all sorts were discovered from matchbooks to a harmonica. The question evolved once more. Why was there modern devices with him, and how did they get there? Mr. Bones has been dubbed the 1700's man from the Mystery Spot. Not the most catchy title, but publicity wasn't my job.
