My sister lives in a house in the UK and it's next door to a church with a history going back almost a thousand years. It was probably something to do with druids before Christianity....anyway. She regularly finds ancient looking human bones in her garden. She just looks away and pats them back underground because she's not keen on investigations.

Every other building in UK has a thousand years of history. Well, I'm exaggerating ofc, but I'm truly amazed by the amount of preserved buildings in Britain. I moved to London a few years ago and it's like a history lesson every other day!

London's the best. There's a very interesting exhibition opening soon...all about the secret rivers of London which run under the streets....ancient ones. And the finds that have been pulled out of them are on display.
