Builders got more than they bargained for when they discovered hundreds of dead bodies on their job site

A group of Welsh builders were working at the site of a former department store when they made grim a discovery in Wales.

Over 300 mass graves were counted when archaeologists arrived at the scene.

The builders were digging up the former site of Ocky White, which closed in 2013 at the time.

They were digging the foundations of a new bar as part of a multi-million dollar redevelopment.

Historians believe the skeletons may date back 600 years.

The site is believed to be an old monastery, which was founded by a Dominican order of monks.

However, other theories suggest the site could be linked to Welsh rebels during the war of independence in 1405.

The Dyfed Archaeological Trust is one of the four Welsh Archaeological Trusts, who said they are looking forward to doing more research.

“The team at Hfordwest have found what we think is a squashed pattern dish,together with a squashed chalice underneath.”

“They were buried within the hands of a person, possibly a VIP,” they said.

The bones are expected to be analysed before being reburied at a nearby ground.

While the electric G-Wagen promises both eco-friendliness and off-road prowess with its innovative design, questions arise about Japanese automakers’ perceived lag in EV development, countered by the strategic imperative to tap into the rapidly growing Chinese EV market. As automotive icons embrace electrification and traditional players adapt through partnerships, it’s clear that collaboration and innovation will drive the future of mobility.

TikTok users could soon find that the popular social media service is either under new ownership or could be outright banned in the United States.

President Joe Biden signed a bill into law that requires TikTok to find a new owner—or face a ban in the United States.

Over the past several months, Washington D.C. has been under pressure to ban the popular Chinese-owned social media app.

Lawmakers and security experts have long raised concerns that the Chinese government could tap TikTok’s trove of personal data about millions of U.S. users.

TikTok’s CEO said the bill is disappointing and reiterated that the company has committed to challenge it.
