Archaeologists have come across 6,000 years of history during the construction of a new highway in the UK, among which could be the remains of a massive temporary Roman military camp.
Strangest of all, they discovered two skeletons that appear to have suffered an especially grizzly fate. As first reported by The Guardian, the two men had their legs chopped off at the knees after which they were placed in a T-shaped position. Their skulls also appear to be smashed in, although researchers are not clear whether these injuries occurred before or after their deaths.
