Mirko Curti and his cat have hit the headlines after discovering 2,000 year-old, previously undiscovered Roman ruins.
After following his mischievous cat through the streets of Rome, Curti found his cat had crawled into an opening in the side of a cliff. With curiosity getting the better of him, he followed suit and soon realised he was surrounded by human bones and ancient Roman urns.
Archeologists who were called to the site have speculated that it dates back to sometime between the 1st century B.C. and the 2nd century A.D. Experts added that the ruins were likely to have been uncovered following heavy rain with more catacombs expected to become exposed in the area.
Curti’s story shows that curiosity doesn’t always kill the cat!
