Three prehistoric stone axes were found in a fortress site in Putri Hijau in Namorambe Village, Deli Serdang regency in Indonesia. There was never any proof that prehistoric people lived in the area before, but the stone axes make it clear that they were there. An archaeologist stated, "The research finding proves that there was a pre-history life in the Putri Hijau fortress site". Stone axes were not the only things found. Hundreds of pieces of ceramics from the Ming dynasty were found along with bullets from an attack in the 13^th or 14^th century. Three digs were made. "In each of the location, we dig a hole of one meter deep and about two meters wide. The locations are not too far from Deli river, which predicted as the main transportation lane to this area," said an archaeologist.

Russian archaeologists claim that Russians were the first people on earth to make clay pots, breed cattle and cultivate land. Russian tribes lived in the Khabarovsk Region in the Stone Age. They came to this conclusion after finding a settlement that was over 15,000 years old. It was on the bank of the Amur River in Khabarovsk, Russia. Archaeologists have found baked earthenware, stone axes, scrapers, stone knives and arrowheads in the ruins. A museum employee stated, “It was the first earthenware on the globe, and though it was primitive, with plain decoration, and poorly baked, yet it was a significant landmark in the history of mankind,”

It is amazing how we are finding out that primitive man really got around. He is turning up in places that we least suspected. He was far more widespread than we thought. Evidence of primitive man has turned up in the mountain range of Pu Ca in northern Cao Bang Providence, Vietnam. Apparently primitive man lived there sometime around 8,000 years ago. Over 400 artifacts from a Nguom Vai cave have been recovered. They consist of stone knives, stone hoes and stone axes. Skulls and teeth were found buried in a layer dirt along with tools to sharpen implements.

A text that is dated at over 3,000 years old was found in Israel. This text may be over 1,000 years older than the Dead Sea Scrolls. The text was found near the site where the bible says that David slew Goliath. It was found on a shard of pottery that was on top of of a ridge in the Judean Hills which overlook the Valley of Elah. Carbon dating put the piece at the 10^th century B.C. There are only 50 letters on the piece. This puts the piece during the reign of King David. There was an ancient massive fortress on this site. "It is the first time in archeology that we have found a fortress that was built at the time of David," , said an archaeologist. So far only three words have been deciphered and these three words are, slave, judge and king. Will this turn out to be script left by the Hebrews? Maybe not, other tribes used the same language to write in at the time.

Some people are getting very disturbed in Russia, they are archaeologists. A new skyscraper is in the planning stages and most have no problem with this. It is the location that it is going to be built on that is the problem. Current plans call for it to be built over the location of two former forts. They were the fortresses of Nien and Landscrona. They existed before St. Petersburg. The project, known as Gazprom City, proposes to build a high rise business center on the bank of the Neva River, near Okhta. There is another group that does object to the construction of the skyscraper saying that it will dominate the skyline to the determent of the local Smolny Cathedral.

Seuthopolis in Bulgaria is a very interesting place, not only because of archaeology, but also because of its uniqueness. It was the capital of the Odrysian kingdom since 320 B.C. When a reservoir was created near Kazanatak, Stara Zagora Province, in was covered by water. All that has changed now. It is still in the middle of the lake and at the bottom, but there is no water over it, as a circular dam was built entirely around it. The town has been restored. The dam is 420 meters in diameter and 20 meters high. This makes the city one of the most unusual in the world.

One of the most famous ancient cities in the world is Iran's Burnt City. This city had been the subject of many different digs and it has now entered, what is known as the 12^th phase of archeological excavations. Graves have now been found in the city. A grave that was within a brick walled quadrangular shaped space was discovered among others and it has been said to be unique among the discoveries that have already been made there. The graves contained no artifacts and the skeletons were mostly disintegrated.“Up to now ten different types of burials have been found in Burnt City, seven of which are extremely rare with only three or four examples of them in the area,” said one archaeologist. “These rare burials may have belonged to emigrants, who were buried according to their own rituals,” he added. So far over 400 prehistoric sites have been excavated in the city and the experts are guessing that when they are done, the number will reach over 1,000.
