@stephthearchaeologist: History is full of the stories of people whose names we don’t know but who archaeology remembers. From the stone carved by Roman carts high on an outer wall to the prayer requested from yesterday this buildings holds the stories of 1300 years of people. That is a beautiful and powerful thing. #historytok #anglosaxon #archaeology #HistoryTime #historylovers

The only proof one of my relatives from the 1600s existed is her name on a sign-in sheet at a church ❤️

One time I s spent an entire evening sobbing because I saw some needlework from the 1400s of flowers that I recognized and realized some lady centuries ago thought those flowers were pretty, too 💜

other people will see this as cringe but it actually is indeed that deep, no feeling matches being in historical ruins and struggling to understand the concept of other people standing in the same place as you - ps heres me at a castle

I touched THE stones at THE henge when I was a little boy. The power of that was lost on my 4 year old brain. Got bored and asked when we were leaving. Wish I could have understood the significance.

even more impressive is the wooden beams. not many churches have them due to fires etc. it's incredibly awesome to see it

I am Italian. My hometown is older than Rome and was founded by Etruschi. The bigger arch and the large defence wall still here. Actually my little garden have a piece of this huge wall as a border😅. My house probably was built around 1500. Sometimes I am thinking about my privilege to seen everyday and everywhere thousand years of human history.

For me its the disused railways of the uk. How a network that changed the entire world. Our Invention, was laid to waste because it struggled to turn profit. All that incredible architecture that stands crumbling, forgotten in tree lines and on cold farmtracks, slowly disappearing or being replaced by housing. The world wouldn’t be the same without our rails

1300 years of faith has gone through that church. I'm not religious but that's a beautiful thought to me.

Moments like these remind me how finite time is and how infinite connection is.

I am from Lichfield. And one night I went out with my friend and boyfriend. We had some drinks and we were all giggly and decided to wander around the town. Ended up at the Cathedral. It suddenly dawned on me how many others my age did the same thing, on a chilly spring night, cheeks flushed from the wine. It was kinda sad but shows how much despite the time we haven't changed really

I am desperate for the privilege to experience this first hand. The Philadelphia Museum of Art had an exhibit that was a series of rebuilt rooms from the reign of Henry VIII and just seeing that brought up the emotions.

I think about them all the time. People whose life was just regular and they went about their day. Working, loving, laughing, crying. We just have little pieces of some of them.

I looked out the window in the Norman tower at the Tower of London and my heart hurt. How many other people have done the same?
