An archaeologist has been accused of ´inventing´ an AD 43 battle after digging up skeletons of an ancient Britonic tribe.
It was recorded as the ´massacre´ of a tribe of Britons in Dorset’s Maiden Castle by a Roman legion, by archaeologist Sir Mortimer Wheeler in the 1930s, but now a Professor of Archaeology at Bournemouth University believes the entire war story was a figment of his imagination.

While initially the artwork was thought to be over 40,000 years old, making it the work of Homo sapiens, recent dating based on the decay of the uranium atoms in the calcite which is on the surface of the artwork shows that the artwork may be older, possible thousands of years older than initially believed, making the artist(s) of this artwork the Neanderthals.
