Archaeologists uncover 6,500-year-old ritual site in central Bohemia

Archaeologists  have uncovered the remains of a sanctuary near the village of Chleby in the Nymburk region, which they claim served as a ritual site linked to the movements of the Sun and Moon more than 6,500 years ago.

Researchers have now determined that it is one of the oldest finds in Central Europe, around 1,000 years older than Britain’s Stonehenge.

The circular enclosure features a pit more than 2.5 metres deep and has 12 irregularly spaced entrances.

Among the relics discovered are bull skulls and horns which are believed to have been used in rituals.
