Stephen King described the most famous pet cemetery (or “sematary”) in history nearly 40 years ago, but the tradition of laying four-legged friends to rest may predate the novelist by more than a millennium. A recent archaeological dig has uncovered the remains of cats, dogs, monkeys, and other animals from as early as the first and second centuries AD. Whereas previously unearthed animals were often the victims of ritual sacrifice, evidence indicates that these critters were beloved pets who died of natural causes. The scientists who’ve explored the site believe it is the oldest pet cemetery on Earth and proof that pets were man’s best friend in antiquity.
