Archaeologists have discovered the remains of a road built about 7,000 years ago, hidden under layers of marine mud off the southern coast of Croatia, writes Science Alert. The passage, about four meters wide, was built of stone slabs, stacked with great care. According to reports, this interesting discovery may have once linked the ancient settlement of the Hvar culture to the now isolated island of Korčula. Researchers believe the road was built by the Neolithic Hvar culture, which once lived in the eastern Adriatic. It is assumed that the same culture also built the now submerged settlement of Soline.
