The before-after photo of that Roman road in Britain really got me
I saw this comparison of a Roman road in the UK from 2019 and then again in 2024. The thing changed completely because some local council dig up the top layer for drainage work. Now the original stone surface is visible again and it looks way different than the modern pavement they had on top. Has anyone else seen a dig site where a quick construction project actually helped uncover something?

Wait, they just dug it up for drainage and found that? No way.

Oh man, I used to think construction projects were just a total pain for anyone into history. But seeing how that drainage work actually revealed the original Roman stone completely changed my mind. It's honestly pretty cool when something gets accidentally preserved under modern pavement like that.
