Astonishing Roman sarcophagus found in bustling central London!

If you walk downtown London, the last thing you would expect to find is probably a Roman coffin. But it happened one day. In ancient Roman times, there was a village along the River Thames called Saoswark, which had become a bustling commercial hub after the city of Landinium was founded in 50 AD, and maintained its position for four hundred years.

An archaeological excavation was carried out prior to the construction of a housing project in the city of London, during which an ancient road near the present Harper Road was discovered, which appears to be thousands of years old, according to excavations on the cavities, according to the Sao London Land News Agency. There have been major highways in the area.

Part of the land around the banks of the Times River is said to have been an important burial site. Just when the archaeological team thought their work was over, they discovered a stone sarcophagus built in the heart of a large tomb. The lid of this stone casket had been removed and left with a large Turk, indicating that the tomb may have been stolen in the eighteenth century.

Scientists believed the stone casket to be 2.44 meters long and two and a half tonnes in weight by the third or fourth century, but it was filled with dust when discovered for lack of doors, making it a poor discovery. Its content made it even more difficult.

After several weeks, the structure was carefully removed and transferred to the Archaeological Museum of London. According to Sauce London Press, London-based museum’s Jackie Kiley has revealed the contents of the sarcophagus a year after its discovery.

Inside the coffin of a woman buried between 86 and 328 BC, a small piece of gold allegedly belonging to the woman’s jewelry, a precious stone and an inlaid piece of jade commonly used for a ring. Found. Carbon testing revealed that this jade stone was long before the date of burial and was a family heritage of this woman.

The exploration teams are now drilling all over Saoos. Their most notable discoveries include a very large Roman dwelling and a number of walls painted on plaster.

A Roman villa beneath the Sauswark Cathedral and another villa open to a square were also discovered in Tabard Square. Also in 2011, while renovating a rail line and London Bridge station, a number of Roman baths were discovered on London Bridge Road and Barrow Street.

An exhibition was held in May 2018 at the London Ducklands Museum, with this stone sarcophagus as its central theme. Other antiquities of the museum included a number of glass containers with traces of their oil or cremated remains found in 1873 in Bishopzgit, as well as a number of 17th and 18th-century burials in the Goodmans Fields outside of Aldgate. And they were found around perfection.
