2,000-year-old roman face cream with visible, ancient fingermarks

Preserved within a small tin canister, the cream was discovered during excavations by Pre-Construct Archaeology of a Roman temple precinct on Tabard Street, Southwark in 2003. The main constituent of the cream was animal fat mixed with starch and tin oxide.

imagine if they got a clear finger print from that

and then, just for shits and giggles, they put it into a police data base or whatever 

and, one day, there’s a murder. the only evidence anyone was there is a hand print. and one of the fingerprints matches the 2,000 year old one.

suddenly, they begin to find more and more unsolved murders that all have a similar trend: only one piece of evidence to tell who the murderer was, and it’s a hand print or a finger print of some kind, and it’s always the same person. its the same one thats been happening for decades… maybe even hundreds of years…

HOLY SHIT
