Thanks for sharing! When I moved to Manassas, Virginia, I found that a significant number of Civil War battles were fought within 100 miles of here and this city's control went back and forth between the North and South several times because it was a major railway junction.Granny-Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11839672013793941394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157854175907447521.post-9054152153602901342013-09-25T16:12:14.151+02:002013-09-25T16:12:14.151+02:00Great post, esp interesting about the roads.

Also that so much of it is now underground, really gives meaning to the layers of the ages.<br /><br />Being Australia, there are heaps of ancient remains, but the trick is recognising them. Anywhere there is water, there will be something. Mostly the finds are scattering of stone artefacts. Some of the inland creeks and rivers have fish traps (stone fences). There are ceremonial bora rings (earth mounds normally) and some of the oldest rock art in the world. Also, at Lake Mungo, the oldest cremations in the world. There were stone huts, substantial enough that the ethnographic records have people riding horses over them. But those were destroyed a long time ago.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08181307209370955942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157854175907447521.post-30836581942582343592013-09-23T00:55:03.350+02:002013-09-23T00:55:03.350+02:00Love the mystical view of Hadrian's wall.

Of course, there are lots of old cabins doting the country side where famous historic figures grew up. But there is nothing on a grand scale as these Roman remains, but then again America is considered a baby to the era of Rome.
