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

This ancient wooden road, laid to pass a swampy area, dates back an impressive 4,573 years, and 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.

The road’s preservation in the peat bog has allowed for a rare glimpse into the sophisticated infrastructure of prehistoric Europe.
Obviously already the Neolithic man changed its environment for better transportation and trading.
