The scientist believes that if the stone is proven to be a map, it will be "unique", "without the same".

According to Science Alert, Danish archaeologists may have discovered one of the earliest known copies of the human world . The 5,000-year-old stone tablet seems to be used to describe trails and fields, fences.

This small, only 5cm stone slab is said to appear from 2700 - 2900 BC. This is an ancient object in many artifacts discovered on Bornholm Island in the Baltic Sea.

In fact, the Danish National Museum team said the stone was broken in one of the worship rituals the Sun was made by the Stone Age farmer. Two pieces were found, the remaining piece of the stone was still missing.

One of the researchers, Flemming Kaul, told The Local about the pictures on the stone face: "This is not an accident scratch . Some lines may be a picture of a corn or a leaf. another tree ".

Kaul believed that if the stone proved to be a map, it would be "unique", "without the same".

"We all agree that it looks like some kind of map - not a map in our modern sense but a stylized map. And I can see some similarities between it. with stone carvings from the Alps, in northern Italy born around the same time " Kaul explained to Tom Metcalfe at Live Science.

The buildings in this area are believed to have appeared around 3500 BC. People built houses from wood and stone, they planted wheat, barley, peas, flax to produce fabrics for clothing. With fields and stone carvers of proven past, the researchers admit that the signs on the stone can explain the normal picture showing the lives of the people here but Kaul and his team believes we have an ancient map.

Previous stones were found in the same area as the sun and sun. It is thought that through rituals, people believe they will be blessed, the land will be fertile. But this discovery is different, this particular relic is the most complex.

The study, published in Danish archaeological journal Skalk, still needs to be verified by another independent researcher before being officially recognized as a map published by the Danish National Museum team.
