The ‘Guadeloupe Woman’ is a well-authenticated discovery which has been in the British Museum for over half a century. In 1812, on the coast of the French Caribbean Island of Guadeloupe, a fully human skeleton of a woman about 5 ft 2 inches tall was found, without the feet and head. This skeleton was found inside extremely hard, very old limestone. Geological dating places this formation at 28 million years old, which is 25 million years before modern man is supposed to have first appeared on the earth! In 1881, the exhibit was quietly taken down to the basement and remains there to this day.
