Watch Video A 7000 year old road in the sea near Korcula Croatia

Road under the sea! It becomes difficult to believe when such a discovery occurs. This time the video has also surfaced. Archaeologists have discovered the remains of a 7 thousand year old road hidden in the sea, just off the southern Croatian coast. According to a report, this road was found in the Mediterranean Sea at a depth of 4 to 5 meters. The road was discovered near Korcula, located in Croatia’s southernmost county ‘Dubrovnik-Neretva’. Experts think that this road may once have been part of an ancient settlement, which was slightly away from the main island.

The area where this road is found under the sea is protected from the effects of big waves, because there are many islands nearby. Because of this, the remains of the road are still left in the sea. It is said that the width of the road was about 13 feet. It was constructed with stones. Due to water silt, the place was covered with a thick layer of mud.

Researchers believe that this road was built by people who believed in the Neolithic Hvar culture. Archaeologist ‘Mate Parica’ from Croatia’s Zadar University made a special contribution to this discovery. The university has told on social media that people used to walk on this road about 7 thousand years ago.

In this important discovery, the help of photographers, divers as well as many museums was taken. Archaeologists believe that the Neolithic era began about 12 thousand years ago. In some parts of the world, humans shift from hunter-gatherer life to farming and animal husbandry. As a result, settlements and associated structures began to form. Roads were also built, remains of some of which are still visible today. This discovery is important because it tells how humans built settlements and roads over time.
