The Lost World of OLD EUROPE

The Roots of EUROPE ✟ Long before the splendor of Greece and Rome, and even before the rise of the first cities in Mesopotamia or the construction of temples along the Nile, there flourished in the Lower Danube Valley and the Balkan foothills a civilization that excelled in art, technology, and long-distance trade. For 1,500 years, beginning earlier than 5000 B.C., these people cultivated the land and established substantial towns, some with up to 2,000 dwellings. They pioneered large-scale copper smelting, a groundbreaking technology of their time. Their burial sites reveal an impressive collection of ornate headdresses and necklaces, and one cemetery contains the world’s earliest significant assemblage of gold artifacts.
