archaeologists have discovered europe's oldest civilisation, a network
of dozens of temples, 2,000 years older than stonehenge and the pyramids.

more than 150 gigantic monuments have been located beneath the fields
and cities of modern-day germany, austria and slovakia. they were
built 7,000 years ago, between 4800bc and 4600bc. their discovery,
revealed today by the independent, will revolutionise the study of
prehistoric europe, where an appetite for monumental architecture was
thought to have developed later than in mesopotamia and egypt.
