The archaeologists in England looked down at the ground and were shocked by what they saw. They've been working on a huge project for years, and now it looks like their hard work has paid off. In the dirt beneath their feet, a set of haunting figures look up at them. This is a sight that will stay with them forever.

Archaeologists found Roman statues with some strange details. These archaeologists were called in after a new rail line was approved. The HS2 route will connect London to cities in the north of England. Problems and controversies have plagued the project, but plans have been made. Rewritten spending has been higher than expected and strong opposition to the project has grown. It would be a stretch to say that the HS2 project has gone smoothly, but one group may have benefited because the rail line will go through large areas of English land. Archaeologists were asked to dig up areas that might hold important artifacts before they were lost forever.

In the end, the scale of these archaeological works was unlike anything that had ever been done before. Since 2018, more than 1,000 archaeologists have been working on this huge project, the largest single archaeological project ever to take place in the United Kingdom.
