Europe’s Oldest Village Discovered Under Lake Ohrid

In an extraordinary discovery that has left historians and archaeologists in awe, Europe’s oldest known settlement—dating back an astonishing 8,000 years—has been unearthed beneath the serene waters of Lake Ohrid, a natural border shared by Albania and North Macedonia. This Neolithic village stands as a testament to humanity's ingenuity and adaptation during prehistoric times.

How Was It Discovered?
Using advanced sonar mapping technology and underwater archaeological techniques, researchers identified remains of wooden platforms, tools, and Neolithic pottery—remnants of a thriving lake-dwelling community. These findings suggest that early humans had not only adapted to lakeside living but also developed sophisticated construction methods to create elevated wooden structures above the water.

Why Is This Significant?
This site sheds light on one of the earliest human settlements in Europe. It highlights how ancient communities relied on proximity to water for survival, innovation, and connectivity. Such villages played a crucial role in shaping prehistoric Europe’s cultural and societal development.

A Glimpse Into the Past
The submerged village, hidden for millennia, was detected during surveys of the lakebed. Artifacts recovered from the site include beautifully preserved pottery, stone tools, and evidence of advanced carpentry. The discovery not only enhances our understanding of early human life but also reveals new insights into how people coexisted with nature thousands of years ago.
