More than 1,500 bodies lay beneath modern Osaka. 💀 . . . Archaeologists announced the discovery in August 2020 after excavating the former Umeda Grave. The dead, from the late Edo period into the early Meiji era, had been placed in a variety of burial styles, sometimes together. A redevelopment site beside one of Japan's busiest stations had been built over a forgotten cemetery.
