Summary
Haarmann Harald: The Riddle of the Danube Civilization
Discovery of Europe's Oldest Highly Developed Culture
Recently, archaeologists have been finding more and more evidence that between the 6th and 4th millennium BC there was a highly developed culture in the Balkans that knew writing even before Mesopotamia. In this book, Harald Haarmann introduces us for the first time in detail to this hitherto unknown and in many respects still mysterious ancient European culture. He describes trade routes and settlements, arts and crafts, mythology and writing of the Danube civilization, traces its beginnings on the Black Sea and shows its influence on the cultures of ancient Greece and the Middle East.
