Xi’an (Western Peace), the thousand year old city located in Western China is also known as Chang’an (Long/Eternal/Enduring, (you get the idea) Peace) was the captial of Han Dynasty (206 BC–9AD), Tang Dynasty (618AD–907AD) and many other smaller Kingdoms throughout Chinese history. In modern times, it is quite well known that any residential, commerical, or even transit development has a high chance of digging up some ancient grave, most notebly royal tombs.
It is said that in Xi’an, when you travel through the underground subway, it is very likely that ancient ghosts would stare at you for disturbing their long sleep.
When I was much younger I was talking to someone about ghosts if they were real and he pointed out what you were saying. If ghosts were real there should be places that are swarming with them given the sheer number of people clustered in some of these ancient cities for so long.
Definitely, the number of people have died thoughout history drastically outweight the number of living people today. If ghosts exists, Earth would be very crowded indeed (not to mention all those animals and … dinosaurs).
Depends on your definition of fun. In Cologne, for example, you cannot turn over a stone without finding something archeological, aged 1000 or 2000 years. Nice for historians, but HELL for anyone who wants to build something.
Because if you dig your foundations and you find something, you have to stop immediately, report it to the authorities, wait for archeologists to take care of it until they give you a GO again (which can hold construction for a long time), and on top of that, you’ll have to pay the archeologist team, too. And if you “forget” to report it and they find out (not finiding anything is actually suspicious in that town!) they’ll hit you with fines that make the idea of month-long delays and archeologists bills look quite cheap in comparison.
It is always fun when your home has a history behind it.
Thats basically daily life in Xi’an China.

Yepp, 117 billion estimated total humans born ever and about 8 billion alive today.
That’s still like 6% of people ever are alive right now which is pretty amazing.
In a sense, life is only known to be 94% fatal.

Still beats digging your foundations and finding a WW2 bomb.
That is much better than anything historical. The job is usually finished within a few hours, and it’s free.
