STONE AGE ATLANTIS FOUND UNDER THE BALTIC SEA - IT HAS EXTINCT AUROCHS REMAINS

Swedish divers unearth a 'Stone Age Atlantis': 11,000-year-old ancient settlement discovered under the Baltic Sea

• Divers found a harpoon, tools, horns and the bones of ancient cattle
• The bones belonged to the animal auroch last seen in the early 1600s
• Archaeologists believe these relics date back to the Stone Age
• It is said to be the oldest settlement in the area - dubbed Sweden’s 'Atlantis'

Aurochs are ancestors of modern-day cattle and lived through Europe before becoming extinct in the early 1600s. The last reported auroch died in Poland in 1627.  This find is significant because it suggests a date for when these items would have been used.  Many of the artefacts have been preserved because the diving location is rich in a sediment called gyttja.  

The artefacts were discovered by Professor Bjorn Nilsson from Soderton University, and a team from Lunds University, during an archaeological dive at Hano, off the coast of Skane County in Sweden.   Buried 16 metres below the surface, Nilsson uncovered wood, flint tools, animal horns and ropes
