Neolithic wooden road near Nieuw-Dordrecht in the Netherlands.

In the 1980s, archaeologists uncovered a remarkable Neolithic wooden road near Nieuw-Dordrecht in the Netherlands.

This ancient peat road, dating back an impressive 4,573 years, stretches for at least 800 meters. Through the meticulous science of dendrochronology, or tree-ring dating, experts have pinpointed its construction to 2,549 BC. 
This discovery not only highlights the advanced engineering skills of Neolithic communities but also offers invaluable insights into their transportation and trade practices. The road's preservation in the peat bogs has allowed for a rare glimpse into the sophisticated infrastructure of prehistoric Europe.
