Very little is known about this archaeological find, and even British conspiracy theorists, in whose homeland this artifact is still kept, are almost unknown.
Or, in any case, it was kept before, because there has been no news about this find for many years. Moreover, there are only two well-known photographs of this find, one is black and white and was taken somewhere in the early twentieth century, the other is of higher quality and apparently created in the middle or late twentieth century. And that's all.
In 1810, the English fleet captured the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe belonging to France, and among the many local trophies captured by the British and taken to England, there was a limestone slab with a headless woman's skeleton embedded in it.
It was a perfectly normal skeleton of the modern type and was found in a 1.6 km long limestone layer on the northeastern coast of the island.
In this place, the French before the British invasion found many skeletons of ancient animals and only one human skeleton. And the modern dating of this layer gives 28 million years. That is, this layer was formed 25 million years before the appearance of man as such.
The slab with the skeleton was brought to the British Museum in 1812 and the scientist Karl Koenig, who examined the skeleton 2 years later, immediately faced the problem of dating, confirming that it is a modern skeleton, but honestly admitting that he does not know how old it is.
In those years, the study of the remains of ancient people was just beginning, for example, the first bones of a Neanderthal were found only in 1857, and before Darwin's theory with his bold statement about the similarity of humans and apes, it was more than 40 years old. Therefore, the ancient skeleton, even with an unclear date, aroused a lot of interest and became a permanent part of the collection of the Museum of Natural History.

By the end of the 19th century, this skeleton of the "Woman of Guadeloupe" began to attract special attention of creationists (supporters of the divine theory of the origin of the world and man). According to them, undoubtedly a very ancient and at the same time completely modern human skeleton indicated the correctness of their beliefs, and belonged to a woman who lived before the Flood.
However, soon the strange skeleton was removed from the museum shelf to the basement, where it should still be under the number PA HR 4128. Until 2006, a mention of this skeleton could even be found on the official website of the British Museum, but then it was removed.
Until now, as far as is known, no one has undertaken a thorough study of this skeleton or even made such attempts. Therefore, some conspiracy theorists from time to time have the idea that this skeleton is specially hidden from the public. To ask fewer uncomfortable questions.
According to skeptics, this skeleton is from the maximum of the 15th century AD, and it got into the limestone layer by accident, possibly during an earthquake, when a crack appeared. As evidence, they point out that there was an old cemetery not far from the limestone cliff, and also that, together with the skeleton, traces of sand were found in a block of limestone, as reported by Karl Koenig.
