Seems Lego already knew of these breaking discoveries.

I wish they had lego like that when I was a kid. All I had were blocks of various shapes in the primary colours and shades lol.

Skeleton sailors were probably poor swimmers, which accounts for the finds of their bodies on the floors of various seas, rivers, and lakes.

Yet, I could play for hours with it, just like my nephew needs only one simple Playmobil -a Roman legionary, admittedly- to play for hours. The adventure is all in the boy's head, he needs just one little toy to start off his imagination.

Sounds like we all need to bone up on archeology.
