Context: Scientists accidentally discovered a Stone Age wall beneath the Baltic Sea in Germany, believed to be Europe’s oldest megastructure.
The wall, stretching nearly a kilometre along the seafloor, comprises 1,673 individual stones. Its size and shape suggest it’s unlikely to be a natural formation, leading researchers to propose it was constructed over 10,000 years ago by hunter-gatherers as a hunting lane for reindeer herds.
What is the Stone Age?
The Stone Age was a prehistoric period characterized by the use of stone tools and weapons by early human societies. It is divided into three main periods: the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic. During this time, humans were hunter-gatherers, relying on natural resources for survival.
