A shallow lake in the Himalayas with hundreds of human skeletons. They used to think that some disaster like a avalanche or flood caused it. They did DNA and isotope analysis of some.

Quote:
The largest consisted of 23 individuals with DNA similar to that of people from present-day India. Apart from this, they seemed genetically unrelated.

The second-largest group, comprising 14 individuals, was a huge surprise. Their DNA was most similar to people in present-day Crete and Greece.

Finally, the one remaining individual had DNA suggesting a Southeast Asian origin.
The isotope analysis has them dated over centuries.
