Archaeologists have discovered a mysterious wall beneath the Baltic Sea that they believe was built by Stone Age hunters to ambush reindeer.
The wall was discovered by marine geologist Jacob Geersen during seabed surveys with students from the University of Kiel in Germany.
Experts suggest that the wall was built around 10,000 to 11,000 years ago when reindeer were known to inhabit the region.
“If we assume that it is a hunting structure, then it is for reindeer hunting and then we have to look at when the reindeer left these latitudes and headed north. And then it was 10,000, 10,500, 11,000 years ago,” Marcel
Bradtmoeller, an expert in prehistory and early history at the University of Rostock, said.
