Wilson's work has raised awareness about this ancient myth, too, as a potential source of the disease. "These children were brought back to life and they may have had a disease in their veins that was also associated with the plague," he says. "We have seen evidence of this, so it appears to be a form of contagion that is very well developed in our current system of disease prevention."

This is a very unusual mortuary treatment that you see in various forms in different cultures, especially in the Roman world. Jordan Wilson, a graduate student in bio-archaeology at the University of Arizona who studied the remains

Wilson's team analyzed the bones of the child's mother (presumably at the age of 5 or 6), who was probably pregnant when her body was found. She is thought to have died of malaria and had been on antibiotics, which may have caused her to die from an infection.

A number of people have speculated that the child died of malaria during her 20s and early 30s, as an infant, as well as from a disease that had already taken over her. After the child's mother's death, the baby's mother and her friends found the child in a park, and later reported it to the Roman authorities. The family took her to Rome to bury the child, and the mother was found dead in front of the church.

As it turns out, the mother was likely pregnant at the time of her death. She was said to have been the daughter of a Roman priest, and was the first person to be infected with malaria during her lifetime. The Roman authorities may have been reluctant to pursue the case, and in late 2012 the child's mother was finally found in a forest.

These are just a few of the theories and theories the team is exploring, but for now, it's important to know where this mysterious child ended up, where he went, and what his fate was. "If the baby died of malaria, it would have been very unlikely for humans to have had this disease," says Jordan Wilson.
