EXCERPT: A record-breaking heatwave in Britain and the Republic of Ireland is making history in more ways than one: dozens of underground archaeological sites have shown up in aerial photography, their positions revealed by temporary “cropmarks” in the parched landscape. As well as known settlements, the conditions have revealed a number of new sites previously lost to human knowledge.

In Scotland, new discoveries include a temporary Roman camp and Iron Age stone structures. In Wales, surveyors flying over a known prehistoric settlement found new evidence of a Roman villa built on the same land.

If it keeps getting warmer then we all may be forced underground or underwater. I used to wonder why anything historical was usually buried. Amazing how.we lose track of things as in where something once was. Even here in Niagara it wasn't too long ago when someone accidently discovered a long lost lock of a canal dug less than 200 years ago.

I remember hearing a story, and maybe it's legend, that one of the Egyptian pyramids (maybe Sphinx) was discovered when someone stubbed a toe on one. Please.tell me that's BS if you know.the truth of it.
