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

A sensational archaeological discovery has stirred the scientific world: an ancient stone wall, reaching 10 thousand years in age, has been found at the bottom of the Baltic Sea near the German city of Rerik. The impressive underwater structure extends 900 meters in length, has a width of 2.5 meters and consists of more than 1700 stones.

Specialists attribute this grandiose construction to the Mesolithic era - a time when Europe was inhabited by tribes of hunters and gatherers. This amazing discovery radically changes our understanding of ancient human life. Previously, scientists were convinced that our ancestors led exclusively nomadic lifestyles and did not create such large-scale structures.

According to researchers, the wall was part of a well-thought-out hunting strategy. It is assumed that ancient people used the stone structure as a kind of "corridor" for herding reindeer, which significantly facilitated hunting. This indicates a high degree of organization and developed engineering thinking even in primitive communities.

Notably, approximately 1500 years after construction, the structure became completely flooded due to a significant rise in sea level in the region.

Underwater research and excavations will continue at least until 2027. Archaeologists hope to obtain even more information about this mysterious structure and the culture of its creators.
