  Fun fact. The university of Oxford had been operating for about 300 years when the Aztec empire was first founded.

  My house is from 1631, 1st and 2nd worldwar it was occupied by German troops and Waffen SS. Its built next to the Roman military road called Heirbaan Via Belgica. I found Roman coins in my garden that are +-2000 years old.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwxydx-TPJs&amp;t=396">6:36</a> the Vasa wasn’t put in a building, after getting it up and in a drydock they build the museum (and the whole building ist dedicated to the Vasa) around it. <br><br>If any of you are in Stockholm: Visit it! It’s cool.

  A cousin of mine was renovating a house before moving in. He found a weapon stash from the English civil war 1642. They looked great above his fireplace

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwxydx-TPJs&amp;t=585">9:45</a> It has to do with the bottom in the Baltic Sea. The ship was buried in clay, not rich of oxygen, which preserved it over the centuries.

  Greenland was discovered by Eric the red. The name most probably came from his hair colour. He was banned from Iceland because he killed some men in a fight.<br>His son Leif Ericsson (son of Eric, simple, I know) discovered north America like 500 years before Christoph Columbus. &nbsp;That&apos;s a family story. 😮

  Regarding &nbsp;haunted houses I&apos;ve read a funny comment a while back which said something like this:<br>&quot;An old old house where some people died in Europe means multiple generations of a family died piece fully in their old age. Wheres in the US if there&apos;s an old house (less than 70 years old) where people died, is because a guy probably killed his whole family in there.&quot;
