Deep in the Indian Himalayas lies Roopkund Lake — better known as Skeleton Lake — where hundreds of human remains emerged from melting ice, baffling scientists and historians alike. This episode of Cold Logic dives into DNA studies revealing not one, but two waves of death separated by a millennium: one South Asian, the other Mediterranean. Were they pilgrims, explorers, sacrifices... or something else entirely? Host Silas Gray explores theories ranging from hailstorm tragedies to ancient alien portals. Why were these people there? Why was their history erased? And what does this frozen graveyard really tell us about our past? #RoopkundLake
