Archaeologists discover a 7000-year-old road at the bottom of Mediterranean Sea!

Archaeologists have discovered a 7000-year-old road buried at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, concealed by mud deposits.

If reports are to go by, the route likely linked the Croatian island of Korcula's coast with the submerged prehistoric town of the Hvar culture. Experts from the University of Zadar in Croatia informed that the radiocarbon dating of preserved wood indicated that the settlement was likely around 4,900 years before Christ, and that people had been using these paths for travel as far back as 7000 years.The Hvar civilization, who were supposedly herders and expert farmers and used to reside in small, remote villages along the coast and on adjacent islands, first settled in the area in the Neolithic period approximately 5000 BC. The Neolithic settlement also included the road. Reportedly, one of the best-preserved Hvar culture sites in the area is Soline, which have provided important details about the social structures and routines of these early farming settlements.
Although the finding was made at the bottom of the sea, investigation was carried out close to Gradina Bay at Vela Luka on the island of Korcula. There Neolithic artifacts like flint blades, millstone fragments, and stone axes were additionally discovered.

What is striking about the Soline site is its vast system of terraced fields, which were employed for agriculture in addition to the concrete building. Reports suggest that the fields were thoughtfully planned to make use of the island's rocky, hilly terrain, which were reinforced by stone walls and irrigation systems, thereby increasing the land's production.
