Archaeologists from University of Chicago stumbled upon what appeared to be an ancient grave yard when they were searching for the remains of dinosaurs. The graveyard, uncovered by hot desert winds, is near what would have been a lake at the time people lived there. The discovered skeletons were of a woman, possibly a mother, and two children laid to rest holding hands, arms outstretched toward each other, on a bed of flowers. This area is first colonized by a people called Kiffian around 10 000 to 8 000 years ago when Sahara was its wettest.
