At the bottom of the Baltic Sea, an ancient wall 900 meters long has been discovered

An unusual archaeological discovery has shocked the scientific community: at the bottom of the Baltic Sea, near the German city of Rerik, an ancient stone wall has been discovered, estimated to be 10 thousand years old. The length of the underwater structure is about 900 meters, width - 2.5 meters, and it consists of more than 1700 stones.

According to researchers, the structure dates back to the Mesolithic era - a period when Europe was still inhabited by tribes of hunters and gatherers. However, this discovery now forces us to reconsider our understanding of ancient people's lives. Until now, it was believed that they led a nomadic lifestyle and did not build such large-scale structures.

What was the wall for?

Scientists suggest that the wall was used as an element of a hunting strategy. Ancient people could have driven reindeer into a kind of stone "corridor," making their prey easier to catch. This indicates a high degree of organization and engineering thinking even in primitive societies.

Interestingly, approximately 1500 years after construction, the structure became completely submerged - the sea level in this region rose significantly.

Excavations and underwater research will continue at least until 2027, and archaeologists hope to obtain even more data about the mysterious structure and the culture that created it.
