The Bay of Bones is a powerful reminder of the immensity of human history and gets the number one spot on today’s list.
Can you imagine a time before written records – where communities thrived on platforms built directly on massive bodies of water? No, I’m not discussing Kevin Costner’s “Waterworld” script with you; the Bay of Bones museum in Macedonia actually brings this reality to life.
Here, you can visit a reconstructed settlement built on platforms, just like the ones that housed entire communities on Lake Ohrid thousands of years ago.
Some of the unearthed artifacts, meticulously recovered from the lakebed, have painted a surprising picture of a remarkably advanced society. Just imagining it creates a sense of awe mingled with a touch of disbelief. How did such a sophisticated culture exist without leaving behind more conventional traces? And just how much will we still discover in the years to come?
