Submerged Stone Age Hunting Megastructure Discovered In The Western Baltic Sea

Numerous captivating historical artifacts have emerged from the Stone Age. One of the latest discoveries dating back to the fascinating period is believed to represent one of the oldest and largest known man-made hunting structures in Europe and was unveiled from the depth of the sea.

Scientists have recently found structures from the Stone Age that can provide unique insights into Late Glacial and Mesolithic cultures around the Baltic Sea. Identified as a “megastructure,” researchers claim it has been preserved underwater in the Western Baltic Sea. 

Named Blinkerwall, the structure was likely constructed by hunter-gatherer groups more than 10,000 years ago and ultimately drowned during the Littorina transgression 85,00 years ago.
