Archaeologists have found a previously unknown network of massive Bronze Age sites in Central Europe that could explain so-called Bronze Age "megaforts."...
"Some of the largest sites, we call these mega-forts, have been known for a few years now, such as Gradište Iđoš [modern-day Serbia], Csanádpalota, Sântana [Hungary] or the mind-blowing Corneşti Iarcuri [Romania] enclosed by 33km of ditches and eclipsing in size the contemporary citadels and fortifications of the Hittites, Mycenaeans or Egyptians," says lead author Barry Molloy, an associate professor at University College Dublin (UCD), Ireland.
"What is new, however, is finding that these massive sites did not stand alone, they were part of a dense network of closely related and codependent communities. At their peak, the people living within this lower Pannonian network of sites must have numbered into the tens of thousands."
Using satellite images and aerial photography, the archaeologists were able to piece together the Bronze Age south Carpathian Basin. They discovered more than 100 sites belonging to a complex society.
The sites are located in behind the shores of the Tisza river. The previously unknown communities are now called the Tisza Site Group (TSG)...
While the more than 100 sites are likely not ancient warring chiefdoms, Molloy says the period was less than peaceful. The TSG were clearly powerful and well equipped to defend themselves.

I despise web sites that try to force one to accept ‘cookies’ in order to read or see anything. . . . . . Fortunately here I only missed piles of dirt. 🤷♂️
Tucker mentioned extremely ancient civilizations of which they are hiding the evidence. I’ve read enough books to know there are many extremely ancient civilizations and fully modern humans a long, long time ago. The Smithsonion has much evidence in warehouses which they don’t open to the pubilc.

I look at such sites from an incognito tab. They can set all the cookies they want. They get deleted when incognito closes.
Rumor has it that the Smithsonian loaded vast collections of Native American bones and artifacts found from the 18th-Early 20th centuries on a barge and dumped them in the Atlantic ocean.
What browser is that? I have never seen it in Firefox.🤔
In Firefox on top left, select File, then “New private window”
Thank you! I didn't realize the subtlety of that choice.
Any cookies from sites accessed from a private window will stay there until ALL the private windows are closed, not just the tab you used.
