Human sacrifice you think? Though I wonder how they could figure he was ritually impaled.
Probably because there were iron and bone spears coming through his chests? :P

Had he been killed elsewhere, these would have been removed.

Also, that there were ten of them. Rather more than needed to simply kill him.

Maybe he was the Rasputin of the Iron Age and they just needed to make sure he was really dead.

Alexandra was a prudish bore of a woman. I think people decided to start that rumor just to have something to talk about regarding the royals.

You are undermining my trust in Bony M as a source for learning Russian history.  :cry:

Next you will tell me Rasputin wasn't Russia's greatest love machine.  :mad:

Hey Bony M did her a favor. If she goes down in history as the banger of Russia's greatest love machine it will be more than she deserves :lol:

Don't worry. They're still solid on Irish history. Belfast is one of the greatest explorations of the Troubles through disco.
Let's bomb Russia!

Pictures from the inside of the tomb of Holy Roman Emperor Friedrich III (father to Maximilian) in Vienna have been made available. They were obtained from a camera inserted in a small hole in the marble sarcophagus.

They had articles about this in Austrian media. It's pretty neat. :)

I hope they increase security over the tomb - now that everyone knows there is a pile of priceless objects inside it.

Apparently, the lid weighs more than a few tons. Which is why they did not even attempt to open the tomb.
