There is no form of intrigue more delicious than archaeological intrigue, and this story is just riddled with it: royal exhumations, parking lots, anonymous sources, whiffs of conspiracy and official denials. Select your finest knife and heftiest fork; draw a damask napkin over your lap, and prepare to tuck in.

Weirdo chess champion Bobby Fischer's body was exhumed in Iceland so police could determine if he was the father of a 9 year-old Filipino girl. This could help resolve a dispute over Fischer's $2 million estate. (Fiscer left no will.)
