Anyone find it weird that we simply don’t know where some significant historically documented battles took place.
Like Boudicea’s final stand is somewhere near the London part of Watling street (a street that extends from Dover to Wroxeter via St Albans), with 80 000 losses, and we’ve just… never found the bones.
Same with the Battle of Stamford Bridge, where we know 8000 people died (including Harald Hardrada) somewhere in the Derwent River, but no bridge or bones found.
We know these events happened from written record, but the physicality of it just isn’t present.
I don’t know what I’m really trying to say other than that I feel there’s a weird disconnect to a past that existed.
Just wanted to say the image is from a movie called The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra. There’s aliens, mutants, scientists, a woman made from 7 forest animals, a scientist’s wife, and a skeleton. It’s a comedic homage to old b movies and is well worth a watch.
Seems fun, I’ll check it out!
