Ochtendung, Deutschland - A huge scandal shakes archeology! A German researcher is the focus of suspected fraud that turns the world of science upside down. The accusation? He is said to have intentionally dated antique relics! Among the affected finds are the notorious "Neanderthals of Ochtendung" and the "Battlefield of Riol". The Interior Ministry of Rhineland-Palatinate published the alarming news on November 25th.

The first revelations over 21 incorrectly dated skulls are only the tip of the iceberg. Now another 18 suspected cases have appeared!

The archaeological evidence has been classified as "insufficient". Researchers doubt whether the spearheads found actually come from the legendary battle between Romans and Celts. While the existence of the battle is not questioned, it remains unclear whether it took place on the meadow or in the forest. The excitement is great and the scientists are alerted!
