In this episode, we journey deep into the heart of Bronze Age Europe to uncover a mystery buried for over 4,000 years. The Saint-Bélec Slab, an intricately carved stone discovered in western France, is now believed to be the oldest known map in Europe — and possibly a key to a long-lost kingdom. But who created it, and what secrets does it hold about prehistoric power and politics? Join us as we explore the slab’s incredible story, from its discovery and decoding to the broader implications for our understanding of ancient civilizations. This is more than archaeology — it’s a map back through time.
