I didn’t mean back then. I was speaking to the person saying it wasn’t legal now. I was saying there’s no need to grave rob, because people donate. Sometimes willingly. Sometimes its not willingly, but those who don’t have a will or family at death (homeless, mentally ill, other like cases). But it’s been a long time since I’ve done a cadaver lab, so I could be misremembering

People donate their bodies to medical science upon death, for various reasons. A lot of med schools have “cadaver labs”

Well what if aliens do exist and they’ve been recording us like National Geographic. Imagine having a real picture or video clips of Ancient Rome. Or watch our first ancestors come out of the trees

They actually tried to film on the bridge! There’s a fun piece of trivia where the director(?) was frustrated how difficult it was to use the bridge. The historian on scene(?) said something to the effect of: “the English thought the same”
Edit: from IMDB, “When asked by a local why the Battle of Stirling Bridge was filmed on an open plain, Gibson answered that "the bridge got in the way." "Aye," the local answered. "That's what the English found."
