Archaeologists have unearthed the remains of an "extraordinary" prehistoric house that dates back to around 8,000 years ago.
The rectangular dwelling was discovered by researchers with the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) in Svinjarička Čuka, Serbia, which is located in the Balkans region of southeastern Europe...
The building—described as an "extraordinary" find by the ÖAW—was constructed around 8,000 years ago from wattle and daub in combination with wooden posts. Its remarkable preservation can be explained by the fact that it was struck by a fire...
The dwelling contains evidence that its inhabitants were storing food, such as grain and seeds, providing fascinating glimpses into the lives of these early agricultural pioneers of the Neolithic period.
The Neolithic period in the Balkans began around 6500 B.C. (around 8,500 years ago) and lasted until approximately 3500 B.C. (around 5,500 years ago), although the exact dates vary depending on the specific region. This period marked the transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture and permanent settlements, with some of the earliest farming communities in Europe emerging in this region...
Excavations have been taking place at Svinjarička Čuka since 2018 and in that time, archaeologists have documented several phases of settlement from the early to middle Neolithic period.
These finds have been attributed to the Starčevo culture, which is one of the earliest Neolithic cultures in Serbia and the wider Balkans. The Starčevo culture is known for introducing agriculture and the domestication of animals to the region, alongside the establishment of small, semi-permanent villages.

Maybe they’re still under warranty?
As Graham Hancock suggests, “Advanced doesn’t necessarily look like us.”
I cannot imagine that “all of a sudden” humans became farmers and started writing….just 7,000 years ago.
It simply doesn’t make sense.
But, if we were so advanced we would make a lawn that rakes its own leaves.
Jenny Marrs is beautiful on the outside and even more on the inside, good people.
Renovate! :) you’ll get a fortune!
lol
My wife’s house looks nearly this bad, but my wife and I have only been married for fifteen years, so I haven’t had time to fix it up yet.(See Pa Kettle)
LOL the plumbing is covered for 10,000 years. It was a special :)
The comments here are hysterical.
My only posts on this thread have pretty much been “LOL”
Add another :)
It’s actually in better shape than many of the homes in Democrat run blue cities.
The Egyptian “helicopter” is actually a dragonfly, for example.
I sometimes wonder if things were entirely built on what originally were fortuitous ‘accidents’ or accidental discoveries - Or if Knowledge is just ‘Out There’ all the time, waiting for something inside us to reach out.
I don’t think everything is just trial and error. (The original meaning of ‘genius’ was associated with the supernatural.)
I know. I was being flippant.
Party Pooper.
6500 B.C. ? funny
Blackrock immediately bought it and turned it into a rental.
;)
It would interesting. It’s not unheard of for placenames to get passed down, pronounced differently of course, and separated from their original meaning. OTOH, sometimes the older name is the same information in a different language. Mutton Island off County Clare in Ireland had a Gaelic name that means Isle of Sheep. :^)
The French word for "sheep" is mouton. It's one of several examples where the modern English word for the meat that is served on the table comes from French while the word for the living animal goes back to Anglo-Saxon English. After the Norman Conquest the peasants were speaking Middle English while their noble landlords were speaking French. (Veal/calf and beef/cow are other examples.)
