Remains of 98 found in tomb of King of Ur
London reports from July 24 reveal the British Museum exhibition of grim relics from Ur five thousand years ago.

Archaeologist Leonard Woolley directs the excavation, describing a charnel tomb where bones lie where they fell. Fifty-nine bodies are believed murdered en bloc in the underground chamber, the method still a mystery.
