The small pond near Titusville, now known as the Windover Archeological Site was once a burial spot for prehistoric peoples.
It’s estimated the soft muck in the pond preserved the bodies for thousands of years.
The site was discovered in 1984 by a construction worker who discovered human skulls while digging.
Archaeologists later discovered the remains of 168 people in total.
The bog preserved the bodies so well, experts were able to map the genome of the ancient humans, allowing researchers to compare us with some of our distant ancestors.
