Exploring a 5,000-Year-Old Flint Mine – The Prehistoric Krzemionki Mines

Deep beneath the forests of southeast Poland lies one of the most incredible archaeological sites in the world—the Krzemionki Flint Mines. Dating back over 5,000 years, these prehistoric mines were once a hub of flint extraction, supplying tools to communities as far as 660 km away!
In this video, we step into the ancient underground tunnels, explore the remarkably preserved mining shafts, and uncover the secrets of Neolithic and Bronze Age miners. How did they extract the prized striped flint? What tools did they use? And what eerie cave drawings still remain on the walls?
