Scientists have discovered what they believe to be the oldest village in Europe, and it has a unique twist—it was surrounded by wooden spikes! This ancient village, which could be nearly 7,000 years old, was likely built with these spikes, or palisades, as a form of protection. Archaeologists think the spikes were put up to keep out wild animals or other tribes, making it one of the earliest examples of village defense. The settlement shows how early humans started forming communities with safety in mind. It's incredible to think that so long ago, people were already working together to create secure, organized living spaces. This find gives us a glimpse into life in ancient Europe and shows just how clever early humans were at protecting themselves.
