On April 7, local time, in the Brittany region of northwestern France, a long-forgotten mysterious slab reappeared. It is probably the oldest known 3D map of Europe.
According to reports, this slab is called Saint-Belec Slab, about 2.2 meters long, 1.53 meters wide, and 16 cm thick. It is believed that its history can be traced back to about 1900 BC to 1650 BC. Between the early Bronze Age.
The stone slabs are clear and complex, and partially broken. They were first discovered in 1900 and later placed in a castle, basically forgotten for more than 100 years.
Until now, archaeologists have reassessed this stone slab and pondered its significance.
Specifically, it may actually represent the oldest map depiction on known lands in Europe.
