Medieval soldier found with sword and knives at the bottom of a Lithuanian lake


More than 500 years ago, a
medieval soldier's dead body settled at the bottom of a Lithuanian lake, and for centuries it lay hidden beneath the mud. Now, those submerged remains have finally been found.
The skeleton was discovered during an underwater inspection of the old Dubingiai bridge in eastern Lithuania's Lake Asveja. Though the
skeleton lay under a layer of sand and silt, the scene was not a burial, said archaeologist Elena Pranckėnaitė, a researcher with Klaipėda University in Klaipėda, Lithuania,
according to the Baltic News Service (BNS). Rather, water currents likely deposited sediments that covered the remains over time.
