Richard III a bel et bien été retrouvé sous un stationnement.

J'avais déjà mentionné cette histoire du roi Richard III dont on pensait avoir retrouvé le cadavre sous un stationnement. Les experts affirment maintenant être à 99,99% certains que le squelette est celui du roi.

 "The British royal died in battle in 1485. But while he would be immortalized in his namesake Shakespeare play, King Richard III was buried without fanfare. The church that marked his grave had long since been demolished when researchers went looking for it in 2012, and pinpointing its former location took some investigating. But when they finally tracked down Greyfriars Church, its foundation -- and by extension, the body of a king -- turned out to be under a modern-day parking lot.

Richard III's skeleton was exhumed soon after and tentatively identified based on its age, battle wounds, and signs of scoliosis -- from which the king is believed to have suffered, based on historical descriptions. But to get a more certain identification, researchers needed to look at the skeleton's DNA. And that's no easy task.
