London -- Londonski Indipendent preko cele naslovne stane objavljuje članak o pronalasku najstarije civilizacije u Evropi.

Prema pisanju lista, ta civilizacija je 2.000 godina starija od Stounhendža u Velikoj Britaniji. Ustanovljeno je da ispod polja i gradova u Nemačkoj, Austriji, Češkoj i Slovačkoj postoji mreža od više od 150 ogromnih hramova, izgrađenih pre 7.000 godina, odnosno oko 300 godina pre sličnih hramova u Mesopotamiji, prenosi BBC.

List navodi da će to otkriće iz temelja promeniti postojeća shvatanja o kamenom dobu u Evropi pošto se do sada smatralo da se monumentalna arhitektura pre Evrope razvila u Mesopotamiji i Egiptu, piše list.

Found: Europe's oldest civilisation
By David Keys, Archaeology Correspondent

11 June 2005

Archaeologists have discovered Europe's oldest civilisation, a network of dozens of temples, 2,000 years older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids.

More than 150 gigantic monuments have been located beneath the fields and cities of modern-day Germany, Austria and Slovakia. They were built 7,000 years ago, between 4800BC and 4600BC. Their discovery, revealed today by The Independent, will revolutionise the study of prehistoric Europe, where an appetite for monumental architecture was thought to have developed later than in Mesopotamia and Egypt.

In all, more than 150 temples have been identified. Constructed of earth and wood, they had ramparts and palisades that stretched for up to half a mile. They were built by a religious people who lived in communal longhouses up to 50 metres long, grouped around substantial villages. Evidence suggests their economy was based on cattle, sheep, goat and pig farming.

Their civilisation seems to have died out after about 200 years and the recent archaeological discoveries are so new that the temple building culture does not even have a name yet.

Excavations have been taking place over the past few years - and have triggered a re-evaluation of similar, though hitherto mostly undated, complexes identified from aerial photographs throughout central Europe.
