Comment from Philippa Burne
In 2001, the future uncovered the past in Reykjavik when workers who were building a new car-park discovered what is now Iceland’s oldest known building. The Viking longhouse they found is now the basis for The Settlement Museum, also called 871+/-2 because this is the year AD from which the building dates.
