Archaeologists Found A 3,000-Foot-Long Wall Submerged Beneath the Baltic Sea
Megastructure Under Baltic Sea
A remarkable long stone structure beneath the Baltic Sea has shifted the perception of archaeologists regarding prehistoric European societies and their hunting strategies. Read on to discover everything you need to know about the recent findings about this structure.
Ancient 3,000-Foot Wall
Archaeologists have recently discovered an incredible 3,000-foot-long ancient stone wall, known as the Blinkerwall, immersed in the Baltic Sea. This could add a new dimension to our conception of prehistoric life in Europe.
70ft Under The Baltic Sea
Blinkerwall reportedly lies nearly 70ft (21m) underwater in the Bay of Mecklenburg, about 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) northwest of Rerik, Germany. It is more than 3,000 feet (971 meters) long and composed of almost 1,700 stones.
Wall Built Over 10,000 Years Ago
Before the region was flooded by rising sea levels around 8,500 years ago, researchers estimate that early human civilizations built the wall over 10,000 years ago, during the Mesolithic period. Intrigued yet? Keep reading.
Research
A team overseen by the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemunde has received £830,000 ($1,030,851) in funding for a project to conduct research in the Blinkerwall. The study is set to take place from 2025 to 2027.
