The Civilization That Burned Its Own Cities

Five thousand years ago, on the plains of what is now Ukraine and Moldova, there was a civilization of a hundred thousand people living in cities bigger than anything in Mesopotamia at the time. Then, every seventy or eighty years, they burned them down. On purpose. Every building. Every house. Everything. And then they built them again somewhere else. The Cucuteni-Trypillia culture. The largest Neolithic civilization in the world. And nobody knows why they burned their cities. #AncientHistory #LostCities #CucuteniTrypillia #Ukraine #Archaeology #SleepDocumentary #Neolithic #LostCivilization #HistoryDocumentary #AncientEurope
