Mysterious skeleton found in Germany

Scientists in Germany have found in an ancient medieval cemetery the mysterious skeleton of a horse without a head that is 1,400 years old, and “RT Arabia” said that the cemetery is located in the German city of Knitlingen, and the scientists did not specify the reason for decapitating the horse, but it is believed that it was part of a ritual Funeral.

Archaeologists did not find a horse's head in the tomb, but they did find the remains of a man and a sword called spatha and a spear.

The age of the skeleton of the knight and his horse is about 1,400 years.

That is, during the rule of the Merovingian dynasty, which ruled from the fifth century until the eighth century AD, during which it ruled a large part of present-day France and central Europe.

The head of the research team, archaeologist Folke Damanger, said the man buried with his horse may have worked in the service of the Merovingian kings, and was part of the elite.

So he had to participate in all their campaigns and conquests.
