2000 year old Roman ruins "reappear again" after 70+ years underwater



https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/roman-ruins-reappear-from-river-in-drought-stricken-europe-almost-2000-years-later/ar-AA11b5HC?cvid=578c597af8b145d0974bdfc4c847fbbc#image=1

Ancient Romans began construction on a military camp in what is now northwestern Spain, along the Lima River in Galicia, in about 75 AD, Spanish researchers wrote in a 2018 study. They abandoned the camp about a century later.

The remaining ruins became submerged after the construction of a dam in 1949 created the As Conchas reservoir, The Guardian reported.

But this summer, all droughts led to Rome. The ancient camp reappeared on the river bank — its entire ruined complex on display, drone footage posted on Friday by Faro de Vigo showed.
