I had to take three courses of history and it seems like we never talked about the rest of the world at the time. Was Vietnam and Civil Unrest really that big in America where we thought that is what was all going on and forgot about the rest of the world?

In the story of Jesus' death and resurrection, he is buried in a tomb that has a stone door, which is "rolled away" after the third day. Would this have been the normal interment of a crucified corpse (lemmy.world)

I was thinking about Rome and there is one place that’s a 17th century church, on top of 14th century monastery on top of a 1st century apartment. And if you go to the Forum section it’s visibly below the surface of the current city.

For the fact that the city has been active for thousands of years, how do things end up getting buried? Does that mean the elevation of the city is higher now than it was in 0 AD?
