    Thats basically daily life in Xi’an China.

    Xi’an (Western Peace), the thousand year old city located in Western China is also known as Chang’an (Long/Eternal/Enduring, (you get the idea) Peace) was the captial of Han Dynasty (206 BC–9AD), Tang Dynasty (618AD–907AD) and many other smaller Kingdoms throughout Chinese history. In modern times, it is quite well known that any residential, commerical, or even transit development has a high chance of digging up some ancient grave, most notebly royal tombs.

    It is said that in Xi’an, when you travel through the underground subway, it is very likely that ancient ghosts would stare at you for disturbing their long sleep.

      When I was much younger I was talking to someone about ghosts if they were real and he pointed out what you were saying. If ghosts were real there should be places that are swarming with them given the sheer number of people clustered in some of these ancient cities for so long.

        Definitely, the number of people have died thoughout history drastically outweight the number of living people today. If ghosts exists, Earth would be very crowded indeed (not to mention all those animals and … dinosaurs).

            That’s still like 6% of people ever are alive right now which is pretty amazing.

            In a sense, life is only known to be 94% fatal.
