Imagine this for a moment.
In our modern world, the death of a mother and/or child became increasingly rare.
For the most part of human history, this was just an everyday occurrence. Sometimes we should be proud of what we have archived as a species.
Wonder if there’s any updates regarding the DNA and isotope analysis
Quite the contrast between the “before” and “after” photo! 🙂
Saw this irl at the antiquities museum in Leiden, very touching and sad. Bless modern medicine….Â
