A supermarket in Estonia was built around a giant Ice Age boulder.
During construction of the Viimsi Shopping Center in Haabneeme, workers discovered a massive glacial rock buried on the site.
It was about 6 metres high.
Around 22 metres in circumference.
And carried there by glaciers thousands of years ago.
Instead of destroying it, they built around it.
Now, shoppers walk past a 10,000-year-old reminder of the Ice Age while buying groceries.
Most buildings try to erase what was there before.
This one made history part of the floor plan.
