High in the Indian Himalayas lays an icy lake known as Roopkund Lake. This lake likewise passes by an engaging designation — Skeleton Lake. Skeleton Lake is more than 16,000 feet above ocean level and it is settled in a valley with steep sides. Nobody exists there and there is solid confirmation of how basically passing through the range can be lethally hazardous.

In 1942, a "backwoods gatekeeper" discovered Skeleton Lake. He saw something there of which a few local people were mindful, yet of which the Western world had never learned. At the shores of the lake, he saw various human skeletons. Amid the defrost, it got to be evident that there were a lot of people more skeletons where those originated from. This disclosure started a race to discover from whence the skeletons had come. The political and military atmosphere of 1942 prompted the prompt presumption that the skeletons were identified with the war. Nonetheless, it was soon uncovered that these skeletons were much more seasoned than they initially showed up.

A study was carried out on Skeleton Lake's skeletons to see whom they had a place with and how those individuals had passed on. The study was uncertain, yet it did demonstrate that the skeletons did not date from cutting edge times. They had been there for quite a while. There were more than 200 skeletons in and around skeleton lake and maybe all the more in the profundities of the lake and underneath the dirt, yet none of these skeletons uncovered their birthplaces or reason for death at first. The normal speculations were proposed, obviously. Maybe they had kicked the bucket of a harmful malady, starvation, slaughter or common debacle. It was not until 2004 that a reasonable reason was moved down by the investigation of the skeletons by researchers with advanced supplies and information.


The Skeleton Lake skeletons were at long last dated in 2004. They date from about 850 A.d.e. They may have had a place with a gathering of voyagers, as confirm by belonging found on the skeletons and the way that there is no confirmation of a settlement. The reason they were voyaging is obscure, however it may have been a religious journey. They were not so much heading out beside or even near Roopkund. Their remaining parts may have been pushed into the valley by ice sheet development.

Each skeleton of Skeleton Lake shares confirmation of charming wounds. They all have endured obtuse energy injury to the head and shoulders. The injuries seem to have been dispensed by round articles. This is undoubtedly the reason for death. That does not sound like war, infection or starvation. The researchers presumed that the injury was brought about by a compelling hailstorm.



The thought that such a variety of individuals could be executed by a hailstorm is a bizarre one. Notwithstanding, these individuals had nothing to ensure them from such climate. There is no haven that could secure every one of them close Roopkund. Obviously, that still makes you wonder, why are the injuries just about the head and shoulders? Besides, it appears to be unrealistic that none of them looked to ensure one another, hence abandoning a portion of the skeletons with few or no injuries. These inquiries persuade that the destiny of these complex skeletons is still open for civil argument and conceivable further stud
