A Norwegian couple made an unusual historic discovery during renovations of their home. First, they found a number of Viking-era artifacts, and then archaeologists declared that they had found a Viking grave, right there, under their floor. Experts have carried out a survey of the site and the grave is being hailed as a very significant find.

Poor folks gonna have all their renovations undone over the excavation.

That's the least of their problems. The bigger issue is that who knows how long the dig site will be kept open for. Meanwhile whatever space this was is entirely unusable and littered with archeologists. Great for history but unfortunate for them.
