Imagine sitting down for a drink at a bar on the beach on a warm summer's evening, resting your arm on a beautifully carved stone table, and not knowing you were leaning on someone's ancient burial coffin.
That is exactly what happened at the Radjana Beach bar on the Black Sea coast in Varna, Bulgaria. While on vacation, a former law enforcement officer saw the carvings in the stone structure and decided to notify the authorities. Archaeologists showed up and verified it was an authentic Roman sarcophagus from the 2nd century AD.
