Video Description

The Lovers Hoodie AVAILABLE NOW: https://crowdmade.com/collections/miniminuteman More works by the artist: https://www.instagram.com/zaboski.craft/ In this video we dive into the icy waters of the mysterious Roopkund lake. Known by more common, and grim, names such as Skeleton Lake, Mystery Lake and The Lake of Bones, Roopkund lake holds a grotesque archaeological mystery that has been the source of debate for years. The remote pass is home to the skeletons of some 500 individuals. Many theories have been posed about what happened to these unfortunate travelers and why their remains now lay scattered around this lake like an enormous crime scene. Today we are going to dive into the theories surrounding this lake, the studies that have been conducted on it and recent discoveries that prove that the truth is much stranger than fiction. All this in an effort to answer the simple question: what happened at Roopkund Lake.
