Ancient Architects | NEW DISCOVERY: 6,300-Year-Old Home of Europe’s Megalithic Builders! @AncientArchitects | Uploaded February 2023 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Archaeologists in France have found the remains of a 6,300-year-old fortified compound and residential site belonging to Europe’s first megalithic builders! These people built superb European structures that have stood the test of time, including magnificent megalithic barrow and dolmen structures.

The settlement is situated at Le Peu in southwestern France, built on top of a hill and has at least three buildings, each 13 feet or 3.9 metres long. And in this video I show a fantastic reconstruction, with its perimeter double palisade wall and ditch - an extremely ancient permanent settlement for Europe.
