When an ancient tomb containing an individual, not a room, is opened after thousands of years, do the skeletal remains immediately desintegrate?
I watched the documented search for Vlad Tepes, (aka Vlad III the Impaler, Vlad Dracula), and someone claiming to have discovered a tomb that is believed was connected to him, also claimed the skeletal remains just turned into dust immediately after opening it. Sunlight and air were blamed for this.
Does this really happen when ancient tombs are opened that are not mummified?
