Europe's Oldest Map. 4,000-Year-Old Map Holds Key to Hidden Secrets and ancient civilizations
Dive into the fascinating world of archaeology as we explore the incredible discovery of the Saint-Belec slab, a 4,000-year-old ancient map that has been largely overlooked until now. In this video, we unravel the mysteries etched onto this Bronze Age artifact and explore the potential secrets it may reveal about the ancient world.
🗺️ Unlocking the Past: The Saint-Belec slab, recognized as Europe's oldest map in 2021, is more than just a rock adorned with enigmatic etchings. Join us on a journey as we delve into the efforts of archaeologists to decode its markings and uncover hidden archaeological sites in northwestern France.
🌍 Mapping an Ancient Kingdom: Covering an approximate area of 18 miles by 13 miles, the map is believed to depict an ancient kingdom. However, before further exploration can take place, a comprehensive survey and cross-referencing of the entire area are essential—a task estimated to span 15 years.
🔍 Decoding the Symbols: While natural landscape features like rivers and mountains have been understood, the symbols on the map, including ovals, circles, squares, and cupmarks, remain a mystery. Learn about the ongoing efforts to decode these symbols and the potential they hold in revealing enclosed settlements and barrows of historical significance.
🔬 Cutting-Edge Technology: Explore how this ancient map, despite its age, could be as valuable as modern technology for archaeological discoveries. Archaeologists plan to use hyper- and multi-spectral imagery, along with LiDAR surveys, to identify buried features. Fieldwork, including pedestrian and geophysical surveys, will further characterize suspected settlements.
⏳ Timeline and Context: Join us as we discuss the researchers' journey to the largest Bronze Age site in Brittany, where the slab was originally discovered. Additional fragments have been found, and the exploration begins here. By excavating sites corresponding to the map's symbols, archaeologists aim to establish a timeline and context for the engravings.
🤔 Unveiling the Legend: The ultimate goal is to decode the map's legend and understand the meaning behind symbols like cupmarks. As archaeologists unearth more about the depicted sites, a deeper understanding of the map's purpose and chronology emerges.
