Today we are investigating the mysterious death of 78 people. This happened about 5000 years ago, in 2900 BC. In the summer of 2018, archaeologists discovered a mass grave in a prehistoric passage tomb near Falbügden in western Sweden. All those buried died at the same time. There were no visible damages to the bones, not a single scratch. Toxicological testing revealed no traces of toxins in the bones. At least those that could kill so many people at once. As it turned out, these deaths were a manifestation of a much larger event in the history of medicine, a catastrophe that changed the course of human history.
