Stone Age ‘Atlantis’ found 8,500 years after being lost at sea | History | News

Archaeologists discovered a underwater city in the Gulf of Aarhus, Denmark, greeted as an Atlantis.

The team has revealed a simple tool in which they believe that a human being with a small processed activity, probably a human being, a small processed wooden piece of wood, and a small piece of wood.

The researchers dug an area of ​​approximately 430 square meters in small settlement. Find the news comes as a writer claims that British scientists have saved America’s Manhattan project from disaster.

Loss period

The last ice age ended about 8,500 years ago and the large layers of ice began to melt.

Sea levels rapidly rose to a few meters in the century, overflowing the settlements of the stone age, and the hunter-gatherer communities forced the interior.

According to the underwater archaeologist Peter Moe Astrup, led by accidents, rising global sea levels reshaped the coastline.

Time stopped

Astrup, “This is like a time capsule. When the sea level rises, everything is preserved in an oxygen -free environment … Time stops.” He said.

“In fact, we have an old coastline. We have a settlement located directly on the coastline.”

This summer, divers carefully landed about 26 meters below the waves near Denmark’s second largest city Aarhus, and used special underwater vacuums to collect sensitive works without damaging.

The team scanned the site with a comb, documented each finding in detail, allowing researchers to restructure the order and daily life of a frozen settlement in time.

Mesolithic settlements

Discovery is part of a $ 15.5 million -year -old international project to map the sea base in the Baltic and North seas.

Its aim is to explore the Sunken Northern European landscapes and to reveal lost Mesolithic settlements as the open sea wind farms and other sea infrastructure expand.

Most proofs of such settlements have previously been found in the inner part of the Stone Age Coast, but the last discovery is among the first discovery that emerged under the sea.

Moe Astrup said he hoped that he and his team would find more excavation harpoon, fish hooks or fishing structures.

The site offers a rare look at how Mesolithic people interact with their environment.

Residents living directly on the coastline would largely rely on fishing, hunting and plants collection from nearby forests.
