The bridge was previously discovered and partially excavated in 1911 by Dr. Orville Owen. It also appeared on an old Ordnance Survey map at around the same time but has been buried in mud ever since.CAS/Wales News Service

1) Climate Change is making the seas rise and will inundate many islands.
2) Extreme low tides just revealed a bridge that’s been lost for about 2000 years.

All things must end.Verifiably, they do, or at least, they all have up to this point.
400-year-ish is a good run for a dominant culture. I don't think the United States is over, but if it were, it would still have had a good run

What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? So, answering the main question here, the "airspeed velocity" of an unladen swallow (European) is something like 20.1 miles per hour (32.4 kph) or 29.5 feet per second (9 meters per second).
Some will contented it's 24 miles per hour or 11 meters per second.
Next question....

would be interesting to know the size of this bridge. Surprised anyone would write this article and not think a reader would like to know the size.

Oh you’re no fun anymore. Oh I beg to differ. I just mislabeled Joe Montana as Joe Namath on another thread. I'll be a laughing stock for at least a little while. ;O)

About half of my DNA is from England, Wales and northwestern Europe. I wonder if any of my ancestors ever walked over that bridge.
