    A simple home renovation isn’t likely going to change your world too much. Sure, you’ll get to enjoy a fresh take on your old abode, but when the renovation’s complete, your life typically goes on just as it was… right?
    When one man wanted some electricity installed in a barn on his property, he didn’t expect to find anything out of the ordinary. As soon as contractors started working, however, it was clear they’d uncovered something monumental. What he found beneath his barn would end up changing his life completely…

    @justsomerandomperson Před 6 lety

    That’s really cool. I actually just moved, and my family built a house, so I’d never be able to find stuff. Too bad he didn’t sell some of the artifacts and get money from them, but then again, if I’d found them, I’d keep them as an interesting artifact to show my family.

      {Señorita} Right, also lots of nonesense regarding the found missing to excavate the entire site in seach for the "villa" hidden with maybe midget size coffin. I mean wouldn't the very first anciens coins found covered way more money then necessary to dig miles and miles deep lol Not an expert but these coins must be worth millions of dollars, no? And most important of all does the lightning system finally works or not!?

    they didn't really need to import oysters to Britain. Oysters for the British Romans was the equivalent of Fish and Chips. They actually exported oysters to Italy where it was elite fare. Discovered that gem of information recently after a marathon Time Team festival taking in there 20 seasons of digs (20 years) mostly throughout the UK and Ireland. Took me over 2 months to watch them all including the specials. Oyster shells were found at most Roman settled areas whether Roman forts, villages or villas

    • @alansimpson596
      @alansimpson596 Před 6 lety

      Oysters were not always for the rich. Many poor people had to scavenge the shorelines to find oysters, mussels and other shellfish just to survive.

    • @coffeegirlct
      @coffeegirlct Před 6 lety

      It was more about the 40 miles from the shoreline that led them to believe that the villa was owned by a wealthy person. Keeping oysters alive while traveling that far would be expensive in Roman times.

    Oh awesome. So now the guy's screwed, can't do renovations any further and will have to move due to the amount of attention his house is going to get. Honestly, if that was my property, the second the workers found the mosaic, I would have fired them and covered it in concrete. Now he's pretty much got a dug up and destroyed yard and a house he can do nothing with due to the archaeological site underneath.

      I was thinking the same thing. Like sure you have a Roman Mosaic, now what can you do with it? Repair it, cover it with a thick layer of epoxy so that you can at least use your barn? Kinda wish you can sue that Roman for the expense.

    And I say this story is nothing but BULL SHYT... here is why..... when you build a barn or house,... you have to dig a few feet down ( at the minimum) to start building the foundation which is deeper than what is needed to bury underground electrical conduit (18 - 24 inches) ... so with that being said,... the initial discovery would have been made way back when the barn was first built .....

      @danMdan Před 5 lety

      Older properties, even Cathedrals, we're often built on top of little more than two courses of bricks laid on the topsoil. And in the UK Victorian Age whole terraces of cheap housing were built in the same way, most are still inhabited to this day. Deep foundations only came in with the rise of Building Regulations giving legally enforceable rules to the building process.
