Paris To The Moon

Paris is turned out to be more than 3 thousand years older. The archaeological excavations, the conclusions of which were lately staged in Paris, indicate that the original signs of humane action refer approximately to the year 7600 B.C., to Mesolithic epoch, the middle Stone Age. On the area larger than a football field, on the South-West of the city, by the sides of Seine River, were found thousands of flint stone arrowheads and fragments of humane bones.

According to the archaeologists, the area amid the ring road of Paris and city’s helicopter port, closely 10 thousand years ago was applied as the sorting and processing point of silicon stones, washed ashore. When the excavations end, on this place will appear the plant for sorting and processing the wastes, which are thrown away by two millions of Parisians in the XXI-th century.

The oldest humane settlement, found earlier within the limits of Paris, is dated approximately to the year 4500 B.C. – this is a village on the side of Seine, the inhabitants of which were hunting and fishing, in Bercy, near Gare de Lyon. New discoveries, made by Inrap, the French governmental agency, occupying with “preventive” archeology on the areas, were the construction is planned, move the beginning of the city’s history back to the mysterious amount of time amidst Paleolithic and Neolithic ages.

The area in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, approximately mile away from the Eiffel tower, have been preserved due to silt, because of the often floods of Seine. The archaeologists suppose that it was applied through numerous ages in the Mesolithic age, may be just two weeks in one go, as a place for finding and sorting of silicon stones for making arrowheads of them. During the excavations likewise the more spectacular tools made of silicon were found. Among them is a ball of almost idealisti shape, of the size of billiard one and long little shovels, which probably were employed for making arrow staffs or for flaying the animal bulks.

Paris has also a place of interest that will surely likewise represent a huge archaeological and historical interest for our descendants. This place is already open for touristic visits today and is ofttimes called “the most horrid museum of the world“.
