tucson prehistoric human bones found in backyard during routine landscaping
"Just what we need, more evidence that common sense is dead. A family digging a pool in their Tucson backyard stumbles on a pile of prehistoric human bones—and instead of quietly filling the hole back up and moving on, they call the news. Now we’ve got archaeologists swarming the neighborhood, traffic blocked off for blocks, and every conspiracy theorist in town filming Facebook lives about ancient curses. Use your head! If those bones have been there for thousands of years, minding their own business, why turn your property into a museum exhibit? You buy a house, you dig a hole, you don't act like you've discovered Atlantis. The city's going to condemn your lot and charge you for the excavation. But hey, at least you got your 15 minutes of viral fame for 'tucson prehistoric human bones' while the rest of us can't get to the grocery store. And watch—taxpayers will foot the bill for the 'preservation' of remains nobody even knew existed. Absolutely ridiculous."
