Wouldn't it be interesting if they found Trajan Decius like they found Richard III of England?

<p>[QUOTE="Erhan, post: 3553283, member: 104070"]This is a very interesting topic! I am all in when the archeologists try to find past emperors burial sites. As for Richard III I watched the documentary it was one of the most fascinating documentaries I ever watched and I recommend everyone to watch this. The way they proved it was him was by Genetic analysis and they were lucky enough they found one and only one single descendants of him living in UK. It was a great detective work was done for this. However, I doubt this can be done for kings like TD for few reasons. Even if they find the burial and skeleton, To prove it was TD and not a soldier or general died in battle, They would need to extract a healthy DNA and then have somehow the descendants tree that can be traced to a living person today in order to match the DNA and come to solid conclusion this is very remote possibility IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>But on the other side, I would be much more fascinated if they put some effort to find the body and burial site of Genghis Khan . He was much more iconic person and his time line is not as far back as TD so it would have much higher possibility to achieve.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
