The Roopkund Lake and the Cretan Skeletons

March 8, 2025

Roopkund Lake in the Himalayas is known for the skeletons that appear on its floor during the summer months. Among 600-800 skeletons, 14 have been identified as originating from Crete. Scientists have conducted extensive research and confirmed that these skeletons belong to people with DNA linked to modern Europe. The mystery surrounding their presence remains, as it is unlikely that Cretans traveled to such a remote location.
