Archaeologists near Kostalac, Serbia, painstakingly brush sand and soil off the woodwork of an ancient Roman ship on August 2. The ship was discovered by an excavator crew at the Drmno mine.

Looking at the linked pic of the model of the city of Viminacium, it is incredible to me how anyone can deny the possibility that another advanced civilization could not have preceded the Egyptians.

That stated, we should “mind our Ps & Qs”, so-to-speak.

My question is, what were coal miners doing at the beach?

“Where should I park this ship?”

“Just leave it by that coal mine. It will be fine.”

usually when a city is destroyed by war or natural causes like flood or earthquakes, another version is rebuilt on top of the ruins, often using salvage from the previous construction.

I find it very curious that nothing was rebuilt on the site and yet the foundations of stone buildings are being uncovered. Looking at the model in the museum I would think someone would come up with a theory about the abandonment of this sturdy ancient city.
