Mass Extinction III

[Items]

How did the skeleton survive the mass extinction of the ancients? Natural disaster and war explain the areas of destruction that we have found during excavations but they do not explain the continuation of the skeleton. Only biological and environmental factors can explain this. The ancients certainly had intellectual capacity to carry out biological warfare against each other, which the skeletons would have survived. In fact, an attack could have easily been carried out by the skeletons themselves. Even non self-inflicted biological dangers such as plague, famine and toxic pollution from overmining are all possibilities. The central mines have shown us that they carried out excessive extraction of resources from the land, byproducts from this may easily have caused mutations and disease within the inhabitants. - Atticus
