An archeological discovery that took place in 2018 was nothing out of the ordinary, a corpse of a woman presumably from the medieval era. After closer examination smaller bones that were not part of the woman's corpse had been identified as her potential child who based on the size of the bones was born after the death of the woman.

This caught the attention of World Neurosurgery experts who closely analyzed this case and the probability of giving birth after death. The experts published a paper stating that "Even if the mother is dead, the body will push the baby out 48 to 72 hours after the death of the pregnant mother."

This phenomenon in medical terms is called postmortem fetal extrusion. There is a high chance that the baby died suffocated underground after being born.

What else do you predict archeologists might find?
