Odd Things Found On Construction Sites

Human have been constructing things for a very long time. Indeed, there are already a lot of mind-blowing records that have been set and strange schemes performed over the many years people have been engaged in construction.

Things You Never Expected To Be In Work Sites


Time Capsule – This was buried by MIT students in 1957 during the dedication of building 26 that houses Compton Laboratories. It contained scientific odds and ends and papers. It was constructed of glass in the hopes that as compared to other materials like wood and metal, rot and rust will not affect the capsule or even the items inside it. Supposedly, it must stay put until 2957.

Letter to Santa – In 1943, a young boy named David wrote a heartfelt letter to Santa. He asked for gifts far more modest than the ones children ask for today. This letter was found in a chimney by construction workers who were about to tear it down. For 72 years, it was actually preserved in perfect condition.

Dinosaur Eggs – The Chinese city boasting the world’s largest number of dinosaur eggs has added a new batch to its remarkable collection. During a road repair work in Heyuan city in the southern Chinese province in Guangdong in 2015, construction workers unearthed 43 fossilized eggs of a dinosaur.

Mummy – A 700-year-old mummy was discovered by construction workers in China, who called an archaeological team to investigate the tomb. The tomb contains a woman’s body that was still in good shape. In fact, they can see the features of the woman, who is wearing shoes that are well-preserved.
