Archaeologists Found Santa's Sarcophagus in Turkey
Did you know archaeologists think they found the final resting place of the Saint Nicholas—yep, the guy who inspired Santa Claus? Deep under an ancient church in Turkey, they discovered a sarcophagus that might belong to the real-life saint from the 4th century. St. Nicholas was known for his generosity and helping the poor, which is how he became the legend of Santa Claus. The church, built in his honor, had been hiding this burial site under its floor for centuries! Scientists are still carefully studying the tomb to confirm if it’s really him, but they’re super excited about the discovery. 🎅✨ Credit: CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
