Man Tells Contractors To Run Electricity To Barn… What They Dug Up STUNNED Archaeologists

A homeowner was in the middle of renovations when he told his contractors that he wanted electricity run into his barn. The contractors began digging to prepare for the wiring, but what they found stopped them dead in their tracks.

Luke Irwin, the homeowner, had electricians on the renovation project at his home in Tisbury, Wiltshire, England. They suggested that he swing the electric wiring overhead but Irwin insisted on putting it underground.

Once the digging began, Irwin felt his shovel strike something a bit more solid than soil. He then brushed back the section of dirt and saw what archaeologists are now calling a historic find.

Buried beneath his home were 1,800-year-old Roman mosaics that dated back to the period from 175 to 220, and that was just the tip of the iceberg.

“No one since the Romans has laid mosaics as house floors in Britain,” Irwin said. “Fortunately we were able to stop the workmen just before they began to wield pickaxes to break up the mosaic layer.”

Upon discovering the significance of the find, Irwin called archaeologists to his home and his renovation turned into an excavation.

There was an entire Roman villa underneath his home, and priceless artifacts were also uncovered at the site.

Dr. David Roberts, an archaeologist for Historic England, said: “This site has not been touched since its collapse 1,400 years ago and, as such, is of enormous importance. Without question, this is a hugely valuable site in terms of research, with incredible potential.”

Among the items uncovered were oyster shells that had not been touched by a single person in eons.

“Some of the oyster shells we have found have not been touched by another human for more than 1,500 years and now we have uncovered them lying around our house,” Irwin said.

“It’s a very powerful feeling”, he added, noting the discovery of the villa, the shells and a child’s coffin from that time, as well as a roman coin.

An entire excavation of the villa would be economically impossible at this point, but that hasn’t stopped Irwin from having fun digging up buried treasure anytime he feels like it.  SOURCE

 

ARE YOU COMPLETELY PREPARED? 

IT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT PREP YOU CAN DO!   

The Bible tells us that every human has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God which is  is a heart-penetrating truth. He has provided a way to cleanse us of our sins since we can never be “good enough” to cleanse ourselves. That avenue to God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness (the cleansing of our sins) is through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who is equally God.

 

Not one of us are guaranteed a “tomorrow”. Has your time run out? Will you continue to ignore the promptings of God the Holy Spirit or have you awakened to the essential need for God, risking eternal damnation?

​​

God the Holy Father, God the Holy Son and God the Holy Spirit are One God, the true, living, uncreated God Who is ever-present, all knowing, all powerful and all loving. He desires that every single person be forgiven, saved and to live eternally with Him. He is our only real protection and His love for you is unchanging. Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, the true Messiah, today.

 

You can’t take your salvation for a test drive. You’re all-in or not.

 

Admit to Him that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness, that you are truly sorry for your sins.  Acknowledge that He died for your sins, rose from the dead and lives forevermore. Invite Him into your life and to help you to turn from sin. Rejoice! You just became a Christian! Now trust in Him and get to know Him through the Bible which tells us everything we need to know and through prayer/talking to Him. He eagerly desires relationship with you.
