The Russian Investigative Committee has exhumed the bones of Czar Nicholas II and his wife as part of a new probe into the 1918 murder of the royal family. Investigators plan to use genetic testing to identify whether bone fragments found in 2007 belong to two of the czar's children.
In 1918, the czar, his wife and five children were gunned down in the basement of a home where they were held by the Bolsheviks during the Russian Revolution.
The remains of the czar, his wife and three of their children were uncovered in a mass grave in 1991. DNA testing confirmed their identity, and the family was laid to rest in 1998 in St. Petersburg. The Russian Orthodox Church canonized the family in 2000,AP reported.

In 1916 a fleet of Russian airplanes flew over Mt Ararat in Turkey and photographed the Ark sitting on that mountain.Subsequent to that discovery Czar Nicholas 11 authorized an expedition to Ararat to locate and photograph the Ark.During 2 separate expeditions they both found and photographed the Ark in great detail.The murder detailed in this post occurred shortly after the 2nd expedition.
