1,800-year-old Roman nails will make you rethink everything

You won't believe what they found under Rome

Bon matin de Moncton — la marée monte, and so do we. Let's get into it.

Écoute bien, you know how everyone’s always talking about *la spiritualité* and what happens after, right? Well, they just found these 1,800-year-old Roman burials where people had iron nails *on their chests*. Like, not just in the coffin, *on* them. Archaeologists think it was a ritual to stop the spirits from getting restless. Can you imagine? Like a spiritual seatbelt, hein? If you’re buried, you’re supposed to stay put!

Honestly, it makes me think of those old stories around here, like the ones about Magnetic Hill. People always try to explain it away with science, but *some* folks, they just look at you with that little smile, like, "Maybe it's something else entirely." We don't have nails on chests in Resurgo Place, mais I bet if something like that showed up here, les gens wouldn't be surprised. This is the Maritimes, after all. We believe in a little bit of everything.

C'est ça pour le Wildcard today! Colette Léger-Arsenault, from Moncton, out.

The morning crew will be talking about this one for sure — catch them live at mornings.live.
