Some travelers in a cosmopolitan European city may be surprised to know that they have walked on the legs for old skeletons for many years.
Officials in Brussels, Belgium, announced on April 9 that public works projects have led to the discovery of at least 30 skeletons in the heart of the city, and there may be more to come.
The archaeological excavation began when the workers recently stumbled upon the skeletons while working on tram tracks.
The images show very dressed locals walking through the lovely European city while excavators deepen a well full of skeletons.
Ans Persoons, Secretary of State in Brussels, shared details about the excavation in a Facebook post on April 9 written in both Dutch and French.
Persoons identified the tomb of masses as the remains of Old Saint-Jean Hospital, established in 1195.
“Thanks to preventive excavations, 30 skeletons have already cleared,” said the translated publication.
“It’s hard to imagine, but so many traces of our history are hidden under the pavements of Brussels!”
The excavation is being carried out with the help of the Intercommunal Transportation Company of Brussels (MVIB) and the workers of the Public Water Operator of the Living City.
In a video posted by the MVIB, the agency wrote that the “Centennial Cemetery” was found while employees worked on the tram tracks in Recentstraat, in the center of Brussels.
“Between the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries, [the cemetery] He offered the final resting place to sick and local residents, “reads the publication, translated from Dutch to English.
“Archaeologists are working at this time and they expect better daily classes in the old Brussels through excavations,” added the agency.
The finding is one of the many massive European tombs discovered in recent months.
Last summer, archaeologists in Denmark discovered 50 exceptionally well -preserved Viking skeletons. “
More recently, the Vienna Museum discovered the skeletons of more than 129 Roman and Germanic soldiers.
Found under a football field, the mass tomb dates back to the first century d. C.
