At the site of the twin towers in New York, workers stumbled upon traces of glaciers of 20,000 years ago

The traces of the glaciers that existed on the site of the current New York about 20 thousand years ago were discovered by workers who are engaged in digging a foundation pit in that place in the lower part of Manhattan, where, before the attacks of September 11, 2001, there were skyscrapers of the World Commercial Center (WTC).

In addition, in the summer of this year, builders discovered at the site of the “skyscrapers” of the WTC about a approximately 15 meter cavity, which, according to scientists,, moreover, the period of the existence of our planet.

The dug pond must be laid down the foundation and part of the communications of the new high -rise building - Tower number 4, which is built by the Silverstein Properties Corporation. Therefore, all geological finds found in the pit will be destroyed during further explosive work and excavation of soil, ITAR-TASS reports.

Now the edges of a huge pit are decorated with a whole "rainbow" - there are stones of red, green and purple. “It’s interesting to look at them, but all this should disappear,” said Robert Rhine, chief construction engineer, New York Times said.

The main "find" - a 15 -meter failure in the ground - will either be closed from above, or covered with the foundation of the foundation of the future skyscraper to receive the necessary hardness and stability.

However, as the publication writes, some workers are not lost - they take several cobblestones on souvenirs, which over time, quite likely, will gain not only historical, but also significant financial value.
