The Logistics Of The End

Dr. Wagner now had every information he was searching for about the skull. It was proven that the person to whom this skull once belonged to didn’t die a violent death. So, he must have died during the battle which took place between the Indian soldier and the British army. But, who wrote the note and why it was hidden inside the skull?

Indian Mutiny

The Indian Mutiny of 1857, is also known as the “First War of Independence.” This battle nearly shook the East India Company and it was an early blow to all the struggle and oppression people suffered under British Rule. Unfortunately, the Indian soldiers were no match to the British Army and they lost the battle yet, this battle was written in golden words in the book of history.

The 1857 Conflict

According to Dr. Wagner, the mutiny was one of the biggest events that took place in the heart of India that changed everything about the future of India and England. England ruled India through British East India Company. They ruled India with over 300,000 Indian troops known as sepoys who controlled India. And one day the Indian troops decided to act against the Britishers and the uprising started in May 1857 and ended in June 1858.

The Sepoys Revolt

According to history, the revolt which started because the sepoys weren’t happy under the rule of British spread all over India which later involved the general population in it. Everybody was ready to fight for their country’s freedom. Back then, there were over 50,000 British troops spread all over India. Including the mutiny, there were several other major battles and other smaller massacres.

A Sad Defeat

Unfortunately, the Indians troops were no match to the British army which resulted in the defeat of Indians. It was Sir Colin Campbell who led the British Army. It was him who later made Baron Clyde, where the skull of Alum Bheg was found and inside which the document about the history of the world was discovered.

Alum Bheg

According to Wagner, Alum Bheg was a revolutionary soldier and the note which was found inside the skull told the story of this man and how he killed Dr. Graeme and a Reverend Hunter, along with their whole family which included their wives and daughters. In the note, Alum Begh is described as a person of 5 feet and 7 inches tall, and who was around 32-years-old when he died. He was executed and it was Captain Costello who attended the execution of Alum Begh and brought the skull to England.

So, now we know what was it all about and how the skull turned up in a bar and what was that note about.
