Europe find 'older than pyramids'

"Europe's oldest civilisation has been discovered by archaeologists across the continent, it was reported yesterday.

"More than 150 large temples, built between 4800BC and 4600BC, have been unearthed in fields and cities in Germany, Austria and Slovakia, predating the pyramids in Egypt by about 2000 years, London's The Independent newspaper has reported.

"The network of temples, made of earth and wood, were constructed by a religious people whose economy appears to have been based on livestock farming.

"Excavations have taken place over the past three years, but the discovery is so new that the civilisation has not yet been named."
