Archaeologists uncover 6,500-year-old Neolithic shrine in Prague

Archaeologists have uncovered a 6,200-6,500 year-old round shrine (rondel) from the Neolithic Age in Prague, archaeologist Milan Kucharik from the Museum of the Capital Prague told reporters today.

The shrine served religious rituals, and it was probably also used for feasts and exchange of goods, said Kucharik.

The rondel building with a 23-metre diameter was enclosed by two ditches with three palisades and it had two gates - one from east and the other from west.
