Archaeologists in Dijon , France , have discovered a strange group of Gallic graves and a children’s necropolis dating back over 2,000 years .

The graves are odd because of the position of the buried individuals, all of whom are seated upright and facing west.

The seating arrangement is atypical for the time period ( between 450 and 25 BCE , approximately) and one of just nine such sites in France .
