Archeologists investigate possible viking boat discovered under parking lot

(DAILY WIRE) – British archeologists are investigating a possible Viking boat buried under the parking lot of a pub to determine its exact age and origin, the University of Nottingham in England announced last week in a press release.

The boat was reportedly discovered in 1938 by workmen, but they were told to cover it back up. The story of the discovery has interested locals since. Luckily, one of the workers who discovered it took precise notes, including a map and a sketch outlining its design, allowing researchers to make guesses on its age, function, and condition.
