Discovered the ancient library for thousands of years in Germany

In 2017, during an excavation on the site of a church in downtown Cologne (Germany), archaeologists discovered the first ruins of an ancient library of thousands of years old.

Based on the early ruins, archaeologists believe that this library is likely to have been built since Roman times. Cologne is one of Germany's oldest cities, founded by the Romans around 50 AD and is called the city of Colonia .

German archaeologists are conducting excavations of the library.

The walls of the library have been unearthed by archaeologists.

The discovery of the first ruins prompted the investigators to conduct further excavations. Recently, archaeologists have found most of the library's foundation. Some reports said the library was estimated to have been built nearly two millennia ago and could contain about 20,000 scrolls of ancient people.

Dr Dirk Schmitz, one of the archaeologists responsible for excavating the library, said: 'It took us a lot of time to excavate and found that the niches inside the ruins were too small to have. Can put the statue. However, the size of these niches is just enough to place the scrolls, so we think this might be an ancient library '.

'This library is smaller than the ancient libraries in Ephesus (Turkey) and is estimated to be built in 117 AD. This is probably one of the first ancient libraries in Germany and there may be other ancient libraries lying deep underground , 'added Dr. Dirk Schmitz.
