Archaeologists are scratching their heads over the 1,000-year-old remains of a woman, buried next to her husband, with her face and head hollowed out.
The curious couple had been unearthed in the former royal palace of Helfta in Eisleben, in the German state of Saxony, according to the Daily Mail.
The alleged bride, who stood at five feet, was lying next to her slightly bigger husband.
It’s not yet clear how or when they died, however most peculiar was the fact that the wife was missing all the bones in her face while her husband’s countenance was still intact.
Unfortunately, as of yet, the reason for the bride’s literal loss of face remains a mystery.
