Archaeologists Discover 2,000-Year-Old Horse Burials in France

The meticulously arranged remains of 28 horses pose a mystery, with theories ranging from battle casualties to ritual sacrifices.

The excavation site in Villedieu-sur-Indre revealed nine pits containing horse skeletons, dating between 100 BC and 100 AD.
Two pits have been fully excavated, showing horses carefully placed on their right sides with heads facing south.
Researchers have ruled out disease, suggesting the horses were either killed in battle or sacrificed.
The site also includes the remains of two dogs, similarly arranged, adding to the enigma.
The burials' proximity to a historical Celtic settlement hints at a possible connection to the Gallic Wars.
