Expression for "pulling out something from the past"
I am looking for an expression (proverb / idiom) meaning "pulling out something from the past" in disapproval.
An example of this would be: somebody mentioning a thing of the past, which is not relevant anymore. Do we have a proverb / idiom with this meaning?
Solution 1:
The only things that spring to mind are these:
"That's a dead issue."
or
"I thought that was dead and buried."
and
"Stop beating a dead horse," or, "You're just beating a dead horse."
Somewhat related to this might be:
"That was old when Moses was a boy."
Solution 2:
One might say the person is "Digging up bones" or "Raking up the past" or failing to "let it die".
